John Gondolf Poet Free verse

Underneath a Moonlit Sky

gazing deep into your eyes
I see a gentle glow
reflecting from above
while lying underneath
this moonlit sky.

the silvery beams cast soft
upon your alabaster skin
as you lie so close to me
arms and legs entwined
in a lover’s embrace

the pink gloss of your lips
seems to glisten in the
moonlight’s gentle glow
lips begging to feel
the tender touch of mine

the moon’s gentle beams
softly beckon us to
continue our song of love, for

you are the poetry
that makes my heart sing
and I the melody of your words
and together the beating of our hearts
compose a poetic sonata of love.

May our symphony of love
underneath the moonlit sky
last a thousand lifetimes.

Richard Evans August 1, 2020 at 6:13 AM A very, very passionate piece. The line "alabaster skin" is illuminating. John Gondolf August 1, 2020 at 6:36 AM Thank you for sharing your thoughts and comments, Ricky. We could substitute "mocha" for "alabaster" and it would be just as illuminating, even intoxicating. All the best. John
