In Moonlight She Came, Her Dark Hair Did Shine

In Moonlight She Came, Her Dark Hair Did Shine Now writing, romantic poem this night fondly bringing forth memories of youth Just tweaking to stir far greater delight no real harm, love lives in passionate truth. Summoned, thrills of ravishing beauty then flowers await that first touch of glee No darkness, no pains of living in sin Just love, given with romantic hearts free. In moonlight she came, her dark hair did shine walking a wide trail between two palm trees Her everything cried out just to be mine and her gentle waves foretold pleasant seas. Beach strolling , holding hands and eager hearts moon's melody shown for budding new love Such innocence, so often how it starts stars in heaven looking down from above. Years past, my heart longed for her to marry soon I flew around the world to return Knowing our love was now, must not tarry in our souls deepest passion did so burn. My wife shares our story to one and all romance that carried her far, far away We, married twelve sweet years this coming Fall Depths of joy, such that no words can relay. Robert J.

Now with our nine year old son, we live in the arms of loving bliss.
