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.
