The Moon and the Stars

The stars were twinkling
as the moon danced
sending beaming rays
to float over the earth.

Casting shadows over all
in the still of the night.
We lay entwined
fingers wandering southwards.

Our breath hot and passionate
as we danced the age old dance.
Reaffirming our love as
slowly we rose to climax.

By the river reflecting
the majesty of the sky.
Adding poignancy
to our deep abiding love

Yes, those reflections on the river. Why is it it is always more erotic outdoors? Good images and mystery. Love, daver
