Anne-Marie Coreggia Poet Lyric

Touched By a Moonbeam

Touched by a moonbeam

Touched by a moonbeam with you I glide
I can now drink from a well of stars
staring out at this night’s friendly guide
my spirit knows no more bounds.

Touched by a moonbeam with you I glide
your warm glow melts away my core
drying up all tears in its outpour
in your orbit I am now released;
your presence pacifies my fears
ripples back the years
as my eyes search your face
by this secret light, 
the light of the moon.

Touched by a moonbeam
with you I glide
swiftly on this path of elation
I crave your affection.
Dawn its gift of light I bid delay
a blissful encore I’m asking your way
for a touch of eternity in your embrace
I felt dear moon, dear friend,
I’m touched by your graceful ballet
the waning of your rays
I beg you to stay, beg you to stay.

-    -   -   -   -  -   -   -   -   -   -  -   -

(orchestral part with soaring music)

Touched by a moonbeam 
with you I glide
swiftly on this path of elation
I crave your affection.
Dawn its gift of light I bid delay,
a blissful encore I’m asking your way
for a touch of eternity in your embrace
I felt dear moon, dear friend,
I’m touched by your graceful ballet
the waning of your rays I beg you to stay, 
beg you to stay, beg you to stay,
for a touch of eternity in your embrace
I felt dear moon, dear friend
I’m touched by your graceful ballet, 
the waning of your rays
I beg you to stay
beg you to stay.

note: Dear reader, I beg you to try and slow down your reading so that you can match the pace of the reading to the music. (I have tried to match my lines to form a lyrical piece. ?)
The composer, by the way, is Brian Crain.

Phil Capitano April 18, 2017 at 7:14 AM So beautiful Anne-marie, your grace is apparent in every line. A 7. Anne-Marie Coreggia April 19, 2017 at 7:35 PM Thank you so much Phil for your eloquent words:)

Lisa Ricci March 31, 2017 at 5:38 AM Oh Anne-Marie. Good Morning. I thank you for this posting and sharing. There are no words for this beauty and peace. It is exquisite. All of it. The words first then the musicality and that stunning image. This entry is what I call the total package. My favorite saying these days is "all I want is peace" You gifted that to me this morning. I thank you for that. You have touched this reader. Well done in every aspect Anne-Marie. Anne-Marie Coreggia March 31, 2017 at 8:38 AM I am truly touched by your spirited review Lisa. To me, in poetry and music lies the soul of men, and each medium has the power to bind our threads together. I can't wait to read your next poem:)

S.Zaynab Kamoonpuri March 30, 2017 at 12:00 PM As a moonlover I enjoyed this moonbeam refrain poem, romantic and great poetic word choice. Musical effects in wordings wow. Awesome rhyme scheme in lyrical appealing tones. So nice to meet yor poems. And warmest thanx soo much for Cmt. Anne-Marie Coreggia March 30, 2017 at 6:27 PM Many thanks Zaynab for your kind comments, they are very much appreciated. I think that if men were more open to poetry and music from all over, the world would be a better place. I am thrilled that the 'Soup' has opened a window to a world beyond my backyard:)

Emile Pinet March 30, 2017 at 10:39 AM We enter a world composed of reality, defused with imagination, where nature is a part of the experience. The moon’s so precious to our hearts, as to awe us with its beauty, and scare us with its fragility. The music touched the soul as the words touched the heart. Beautiful! Emile. #7 Anne-Marie Coreggia March 30, 2017 at 6:00 PM Emile, I am deeply touched by your eloquent review but I must honestly say that, backed by Brian Crain's composition and Yiruma's playing on the piano, I surely had a lot of help:)

Chris Green March 30, 2017 at 7:12 AM Such an enchanting piece Anne-Marie. You have captured the essence of the evening and sprinkled it with love and desire. This reads like it should be a show tune, the theme song for a musical production on stage. I really enjoyed reading this today, you did a beautiful job. Anne-Marie Coreggia March 30, 2017 at 8:31 AM Chris, thank you for this generous comment that goes straight to my heart. I so wish I could write for a musical production; that would be an amazing experience.:)
