Gregory Richard Barden Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Moonsong

there is a fire in the sky
it burns, though pale and waning
my somber heart
and griefs depart
midst heaven's weep, now raining

     ~ oh moon, you pull no tide ...
                  as deep as what's inside ~


there is a flicker in the dark
that trembles, bright, to fashion
one dreamt escape
that curving nape
back roads that wind to passion

     ~ oh moon, you paint no skin ...
                  more flamed than that I'm in ~


there is a glow in even's arc
that whispers through the heather
and sings to death
with twilight breath
those hopes for morning's weather

     ~ oh moon, there are no dreams ...
                  not drenched amid your beams ~


there is a gold within the ink
her moonlight eyes, soft-blazing
that pulls me deep
down to their keep
those depths I've drowned, a-gazing

     ~ oh moon, there is no fur ...
                  as soft as you ... on her ~


( how you BOTH make me stir ).

Robert Lindley January 24, 2021 at 11:20 AM *The gold within the ink it truly glows *As golden afternoon sun slowly sinks *Night arrives to gift its many shows* As midnight owl its eyes rapidly blinks. * The prancing moon its soft beams splatters. * O' the washing tides sing and play along.* Writing poetic verses such matters.* As does the music to romantic songs.,, Your moonsong is a gem-a fav..
