John Gondolf Poet Rhyme

Silhouettes In Moonlight

A lover’s moon is on the rise
this sultry summer night;
with stars above in cobalt skies,
the time for love is right.

The moonlight cast upon the lake
and shimmers in the breeze;
a Whip-poor-will keeps night awake,
and puts the world at ease.

Two silhouettes in moonlight shown
while slowly passing by;
are walking arm in arm alone
as time for love is nigh.

The pair embrace as passions race
affections they express
by moonlit lake, the perfect place,
and hast’ly they undress.

Their silhouette in moonlight shown
their passion rising high;
my presence here to them not known
as they begin to sigh.

A gentleman would never stay
their act of love to see;
I slowly turn and walk away
lest I a voyeur be.

Susan Ashley September 2, 2018 at 11:35 AM Oh, such a beautiful and passionate pulse rhythmically races through your enticing poem, John. Your imagery is exquisite. Excellent romance! Warmest wishes always my friend.. ~Susan Susan Ashley September 2, 2018 at 12:01 PM Your artistic restraint makes your romantic poem that much more alluring.. John Gondolf September 2, 2018 at 11:52 AM Thank you for your wonderful comment, Susan, I always appreciate your support. I suppose I could have kept going and made it much more enticing but I decided it was best to end there and walk away. All the best to you my friend. John

Tom Cunningham September 2, 2018 at 9:30 AM I doubt that they would have even noticed you John . But yes you did the gentlemanly thing. Well written romantic verse. Tom John Gondolf September 2, 2018 at 10:04 AM Thanks, Tom, I appreciate your support. My daughter informed me that since I watched them undress I was already a voyeur, maybe I’m not as much a gentleman as I thought. John
