Best Crescent Poems

She slants her shining, golden glance
Across desert, mountains, rivers, plants
Greets her rising, true romance
In the purpling, opposite skies

Her lunar love, her heart’s delight
Soars to ever darker height
For each, the other’s perfect, right
It’s on their wings time flies

She seems asleep within the night
Yet always, somewhere, she’s...

I do not love you like the crescent moon
majestically erupting into a star filled night   
nor do I love you like the pearl painted swan
gliding effortlessly across a pristine pond

Fear not for I do most certainly love you -

But my love is more...

If the 
crescent 
moon smiles 
on you

then know 
that 
I am smiling 
too

and if per
chance 
it’s gone 
from view

then I will
send 
my smile
to you

There like the bloom of a mystical flower,
a crescent moon smiles this day
Before the sun comes to offer good morning,
bright its illumined display

While here I stand gazing north towards the heavens,
dreaming of days yet to be
Watching the glow on an autumn horizon,
I feel it grinning...

On Halloween, beneath a crescent moon,
a dark-haired man, pale-faced, I chanced to see.
He danced with grace and beauty to each tune
the band was playing. Would he dance with me?

At last he asked me, “May I dance with you?”
On Halloween, beneath a crescent moon,
his breath was...

If love does not live so that love may live,
Wrecked on rugged rock like a pirate ship;
Tiresias speaks to hearts—no love to give,
Darkness and void with no inspired lips;

If love is quashed short of its golden prime,
Like dinosaurs smashed by a meteorite;
Crushed from its age...

Crescent moon frowning
It seems, from my vantage point
My head tilted up

The lonely night holds new remorse
like songs of old we've heard before
And though the sky may know the chords
tonight's moon seems to stray off course

In dark tonight all eyes are blind
The crescent moon, so small upturned
hears strains of sadness so aligned
where even stars weep sad...

The Lullaby of the Crescent Moon


The crescent moon that dances ‘cross the sky
is shining softly through my window pane,
and smiling gently from his perch on high
while humming tender notes of love’s refrain.

The magic of this bright celestial orb
is tempting passions of this mortal man,
but thoughts...

The Crescent City

Ancestral roots are calling me
to Crescent City near the sea.
A city with its past displayed
where long ago the pirates played.

The glowing lights of Vieux Carré;
Café du Monde’s belov’d beignets,
and Creole foods prepared with flare;
it’s been so long since I’ve been there.

The Cajuns live...

School days indeed such memories they are
Some stayed close to home, whilst some travelled afar
But where of my first love, where did she go
Our first dance together when I was her Beau

The lovely Olivia, long brown hair, petite
Will she be at the reunion, will we...

Hold my hands and sing me to sleep

Before the dreams sink too deep

Through the night walk me to the shore

To a land where greetings are peaceful snores

 

Let the moon talk about the day

Let it tell off our journey to the bay

Let the stars carry...
