Notes About The Poem

The Maltese Moon

The Maltese Moon,
she draws my eyes
to shapely orb
in starlit sky
she smiles at me
with wanton grace
and spills desire
upon my face
I'm all awash
in milky glow
sacred secrets
Mine to know...

the Maltese Breeze
he flirts with me
can't let me be
his fingers trace
my rounded face
my hair he twirls
my skirt's a whirl
he has no care 
this Maltese Breeze 
alone can dare
dishevel me
and set me free

The Maltese Sea
now beckons me
wets my desire
in moon glow fire
that rides the waves
as my heart craves
His liquid arms
and all his charms
This Maltese Sea
so vast so free
is calling me
is calling me....

I close my eyes
as Maltese Air
caresses my lips
in great fanfare
I breath him in
in sheer delight
invigorated
by his might
I pause a while
my life on hold..
my heart, it beats
so brave, so bold

The others, they just
walk on by
and yet I wait
alone, I sigh 
Awash in light
of Maltese Moon
the Maltese Breeze
just simply croons
and Maltese Sea
he, murmurs sweet
and I am lost
In Maltese treat

The magic starts to fade away
I start to walk, I cannot stay
They've called me from my reverie
I rush to catch up with the three
but turn for one more blessed glance
at Maltese Moonbeam's fond romance
There's more to me than what they know
more passion than what I can show

The Maltese Moon, she smiles at me
For we have shared sweet ecstasy

You obviously visited a place of great and rare beauty my friend, for it to leave such a deep mark upon you. I know of such things having found two rare, beautifully secluded spots in the deep woods.. A gem that I am adding to my fav list.A7

A shared seduction need only know the sweet direction of lust touch glow, for the spirit of nature's passion is designed for your attention...the beauty and reverence of your poetry for natural, personal sensuality is divine Beloved Poetess. "Caresses my lips in great fanfare..." superb beauty...J.A.B.

Justin...your insight and input always bring delight to my heart. Thank you, Eagle. It was a superb moment for me. I truly felt as though the moon were speaking to me....assuring me that I am worthy, beautiful, and strong. I cannot fully express what went through my heart as I drank in the moment. I have read your latest, but the concepts were beyond me...Still it was beautiful.

It was perfect in every way, Paul. It made me feel so good to be alive....so hopeful....so passionate....so determined.....so....happy. It was a beautiful night. One I will long remember. Of course, what was lovely also was knowing that on the morrow I would meet with you and Charmaine...my Maltese friends. Love you both so much. Thanks for your kindness to me and my family. Hugs
