Best Lunar Poems

By the early years of that ancient decade, the 70's,
I'd tired of my obstreperous tomboyish games: 
kickball with the neighbor kids, sledding in the winter, 
desecrating the peacefulness of our street's grave yard 
with our bike races, tag, and hide-n-seek. 
And I tired too of...

Moon beams in distance.
Carried by glittering waves,
Reflecting an ageless tide!
Rays of moonlight fall,
Caressing, soothing, calming,
Man's broken, weary hard heart!
He stands in the sand
Moonbeams touching his shoulder
One giant step for mankind!
The moon is falling,
from the sky coming down fast!
Can the mighty ocean last?
Surf's up came the...

Under the broad sweep of endless sky,
In that rare and hallowed moment
When the moon, in audacious stealth,
Edges before the sun,
A quietude descends, profound and deep.

The air, thick with anticipation,
Holds its breath;
The earth, in its tireless orbit,
Pauses—in reverence 
To the grandeur to which we all belong.

Raven Blue twilight,

Existence epitomized,

Formless shadows lurk.

White moon, 
Riding on the shoulders of a colored rain cloud, 
 admiring her reflections in a crystal stream, 
which fell asleep while visiting dreams 
of fishes dancing to the deep voice of a bass drum.
The darkness creeps in on its belly, 
and draped a...

I am a 
lone moon drifter--

My dreams of light
comes to life at night...

I peek up
at the moon at dawn
to realize so soon
her light is gone within
a yawn.  

Strangely,
my sorrow
relies on the moonlight
tomorrow--

to get me through another day.

I've followed the winds of aspirations,
heard their sighed...

The light
is not its own, but
caught and passed on
to comfort a darkened world.
It inhabits the lonely places
and where absence
has gone unhealed,
becoming a summoner 
of dreams and visions
as if seeking a form
to manifest something
of itself in the apparitions 
wandering human sleep,
or in a memory
that gently brushes
the...

A fabulous Italian mini-lunar-naut
Traded his mini- spaceship for a cot,
No more moon trips,
No beeps or blips
Relaxation and rest duly sought
Dreams aplenty for that lunar-naut.

He dreamed of lots and lots of space,
He dreamed of traveling all over the place.
He dreamed of women with eyes of pink.
He...

Lunar phases of deepest thoughts
Fasi lunari dei piu' profondi pensieri 


The unwritten absence of your 
beautiful soul, before you entered my world—
I closed my eyes to the 
sparkling tinctures surrounding it, 
feeling silent tears glide across my heart, in 
my deepest nocturnal thougths, 
thinking of...

Evening enchantress, she carefully selects
The most exquisite place in the sky to repose.
A marvel is our Luna, inspiring 
Silver poetry, tides, and young forbidden love.

Delicately pretending to not watch
At the same time, missing nothing
Stirring imaginations, inspiring music and song.
Tempting the super controlled to be more...
