Eve Roper Poet Free verse

Romantic Moon

beneath dusk twilight
briskness of the night
off a bumpy quiet foot
path, deeper into
root of virgin forest
towards narrow a patch.

breathless, beneath
thick mixed coppice
nightingales croon,
nature sleeps.

moon views with romantic
pleasure upon scintillating
obsidian hue lake.

natures breath held
briefest of hesitations
fish breaks the surface
ripples sweep swirling
beyond the lake
swept away in darkness.

lovers in a canoe
enthralled by sensation
of nostalgic moon.
