Tonight the Moon Blushes

tonight
i'm adrift
on the wings
of night's breath

the band's playing
a Neil Diamond song
barely audible
through echoes
of cheers
but all i hear
is your voice
calling my name
in delicate whispers

i look around
through the edges
of darkness
a half moon
smiles at me
beneath
the thin layers
of clouds
shifting
like my thoughts

i trace the trails
of stars 
glistening
like loves eyes
wondering
if you see my blush
in your sky's moon
tonight

Beautiful, the essence of your poetry as always beautiful. To gaze up at the moon and wonder can those feelings and emotion be felt by another. This one touched me my friend.

Thank you John...i live in the hills, and while at work, we could hear the band, the cheers of crowds from 8000 people, yet the moon breaking over the crest of the hill, in an orange shade mesmerized me... hugs :)
