Robert Lindley Poet Sonnet

Your Romantic Lights It Can Not Replace

Your Romantic Lights It Can Not Replace

Full moon beaming down so brightly tonight
Your dancing light did not seem quite the same
Glorious moon, you are a lovely sight
With love interlaced in your yellow flame!

Watching you shining and sharing such gifts
Lovers feel your magnificent powers
Beautiful calming sky that so uplifts
Gazing in stuttering awe these sweet hours!

As dawn rushes up to your light erase
We feeling sadness in hearts wanting more
For while missing you and your smiling face
We ask, you travel to what distant shore?

Sun is wonderful with hot burning face
Your romantic lights it can not replace!

Charmaine Chircop February 27, 2016 at 10:29 AM When the moon leaves your shore, guess it crosses across the sky to visit my own. Indeed the sun warms our skin, but its the moon that lights up our heart and soul within ,Awesome,!
