Notes About The Poem

In Moonbeams

Where in the night sky would I seek
to find the daughter of love,
while Phobos rounds Mars close cheek
tho' Deimos breaches slower above. 

Never wanted to be less than whole
lost in a soldier's conquered dreams,
like fine wine alas asked to taste all,
love's sweet draught in moonbeams. 

Never harbor a jealous heart
only serves to fulfill it's own needs..  
to poison love's lasting waters,  
and steal away bright moonbeams.

Laugh at all life's fortunes won
those red rosey skies full a sun..
yet all evenings lost it seems..  
in moonbeams,
bright moonbeams, 
oh, those
moonbeams.

Thanks for sharing this. Another magnificent muse... Meanwhile, by God's grace, I greet you with the peace and joy from the Lord toward a prosperous New Year 2023 along this present: "the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23 of the King James Bible). God bless you.
