Moonlight Shadow

Moonlight casts its silver shadow over the inky sea
I’m in awe of its beauty; it always captivates me
Suddenly obscured by gossamer clouds drifting past
The shadows changing constantly their beauty never lasts

The chill breeze it intensifies; the clouds are rushing by
Ripples make the shadows dance and catch my teary eye 
I love to stand and watch this scene when I get the chance
Being with my loved one and a great time for romance’

Its scintillating silvery glow lifts the veil which shrouds your face
Arm in arm we gently stroll I yield to your tender embrace
A sense of calm and tranquility envelop us as we walk
Its luminosity casts its magical spell we have no need to talk

Two lovers forgetting life's uncompromising complexities
Unlocking wary but loving hearts and exchanging keys 
My very soul drinks in the ambiance of loves atmosphere
Into the future we walk together, our true love holds no fear

The years go by and into one our hearts melt
That orchestra of loves music deep inside we felt
Our lives have not always been a sweet melody
We’ve worked and toiled and earned our victory

Smooth silvery flow of words as if I could drink in each syllables like wine tasting the sweet and the spicy I enjoyed the way you weave your words together... All the best!
