Best Moonbeams Poems
The suns rays fade softly as
daylight melts into night
and mysterious moonbeams
glow even bigger
as the moonlight stretching across
the waters mirrored surface
enchanting ambient beams
dance upon the dark gray
water of the lake floating on
the night's whispering breeze
Touching on the waters
edge kissing the beach
silver beams caress the
warm sand not wishing to
disturb any hidden lovers
left in its darkness
When its time to float back on
the night's soft breeze to
continuing its dance with the
water as it begins to transform
back into the suns rays
warming the chilled water
dawn slowly steals back its turn
To become daylight again
nudging the shrinking moon
back to be lost in the light skies
The moonbeams crossed the horizon
Carrying the sun in its wake
Soft light 'pon the grass like diamonds
The moonbeams crossed the horizon
Caressing each scrutiny wizened
Opaque hopes and moods forsake
The moonbeams crossed the horizon
Carrying the sun in its wake

Butterflies & Moonbeams
Of things that inspire I will write
Whether things of day or by night
Butterflies and silver moonbeams
Upon the quiet water gleams
Azure heavens where a hawk screams
Sunsets repainting awesome themes
Trees shade meandering cool streams
Yellow Stone where old faithful steams
Fireflies & double rainbow dreams
All made of magic so it seems
Enchantments entice my delight
With wonder I will dream tonight

Glistening diamonds sparkle
within a thousand star lights
wrapped into one holding the highest space
Oceans of the night you flicker bewitching charms
upon the crest of each wave under the moonlight
your royal gaze mesmerizes
Reflections carried under intoxicating incandescent lights
transfixed adoration crystallized inside your heavenly embrace
where a spell unlocks feelings in a million thoughts
~
Moonbeams and promises
softly they weave
Here in the twilight
if you will believe
Whispers on breezes
through pine scented air
Two hearts together
these moments to share
Holding you closely
a night such as this
Seeking your lips and
the warmth of your kiss
Soft as a feather
and sweet buttercream
Lingering here in
the midst of a dream
Moist and inviting,
so breathless my sighs
Lost in the feeling
neath December skies
Supple and tender
a wish that’s come true
Perfect this evening
alone here with you
~
In moonlight's glow I wish to dream
To capture all of heavens schemes
To dance beneath the starry skies
And gaze into your big brown eyes
Then stroll the beach in starlight's gleam
In moonlight's glow I wish to dream
To tango on the sandy shore
With the one that I so adore
And as the waves lap at our feet
We'll waltz to melodies so sweet
In moonlight's glow I wish to dream
As waves provide musical themes
We'll hitch a ride upon a star
And cruise to galaxies afar
We'll then return upon moonbeams,
In moonlight's glow, I wish to dream

~Moonbeams Gently Cascade~
Watching as the daylight begins
to melt into twilight
Listening for the soft lullaby
the stars would incite
Cradling me in their warm
brilliant effervescent glow
To rock me gently, to their
mesmerizing melody so slow
When these vibrating heavenly
bodies, lull me to sleep
Star dust hangs over me in
forms of counting sheep
Angels sing the lullaby in this
heavenly celestial choir
Stroking oh so softly the purest,
of mankind's desires
Lullaby on a celestial breeze
as my soul it serenades
Drifting off to heaven as
moonbeams gently cascade

On a perfect day in April as the Moon begins to rise
Past the echoes of the sunbeams that still tumble from your eyes
I am swallowed by the feeling that the World belongs to you
And each time you say you love me there is more I need to do
As the gold of sunset merges with the indigo of night
While the stars awake in splashes of their own eternal light
I can feel your gentle breathing as your arms are round my chest
Holding me inside a prison under permanent arrest
As your fingers find their target and your lips begin to part
I am lost beyond rememb'ring in the beating of my heart
When you first said that you loved me there was such a Moon as this
And she brushed the sky with silver as you won me with your kiss
When you made your first surrender to the slightest of commands
And I learned the way you blossom as I feed you with demands
There were moonbeams filled with magic casting spells you must obey
And you swore you were my servant on the most momentous day
Now we're locked within the compass of the bright revolving spheres
I am yours each way you want me through the passing of the years
And the stars are now exploding into diamonds overhead
As I lead my bright-eyed lover from the garden into bed
Where in the night sky would I seek
to find the daughter of love,
while Phobos rounds Mars close cheek
tho' Deimos breaches slower above.
Never wanted to be less than whole
lost in a soldier's conquered dreams,
like fine wine alas asked to taste all,
love's sweet draught in moonbeams.
Never harbor a jealous heart
only serves to fulfill it's own needs..
to poison love's lasting waters,
and steal away bright moonbeams.
Laugh at all life's fortunes won
those red rosey skies full a sun..
yet all evenings lost it seems..
in moonbeams,
bright moonbeams,
oh, those
moonbeams.
Catching Moon Sighs
From time to time
as clouds pass
— those plumpted puffs —
touring by
…Out
from behind them
a
Night’s lit
Blink!
will occur
for:
T’is our
Moon sighing
at Time’s insistent nudges
to fleet on by
And at which overseeing Venus
winks her sympathies…
(c) s.y. eslinger6/2024
On this fragrant California night!
Catching moonbeams if we can,
With combined human might.
Blown our way by Spring’s, soft fan.
The hope and joy, this season brings.
Far bigger as it opens its floral door,
To our heart’s everything!
We find no need to ask for more.

Each night you boldly face the jury,
Perched high upon your heavenly throne.
Eloquently repeating your wondrous story
Of never-ending love in flesh and bone.
Giving listening earth a heart of its own
And a yearning for joys still unseen,
Pleasures remaining yet unknown.
Forever may your light glow serene.
Your presence makes no one sorry.
The somber owl has no reason to groan.
His musings from the limestone quarry
Only make his sublime design known.
By your majesty darkness is overthrown.
The romantic cricket sings to his queen
Whose beauty he desires to be shown.
Forever may your light glow serene.
Your soothing glow calms the night’s fury,
Giving every figure an aesthetic tone.
On my windowsill the gleam of your glory
And in my room your royalty overflown.
Every apple of discord you have shone,
By the waxing of your noble sheen.
The shadow of gloom and grief has gone.
Forever may your light glow serene.
High above our arch have you flown,
As you ushered in the Master’s routine.
There you reign enthroned on high alone.
Forever may your light glow serene.
I look into your eyes
It comes as no surprise
I float in a heavenly realm
Yet I am earthly bound
you are the amber sun rise
the calm blue sea tide
the open blue skies
~~~
On moon beams we ride
Star dust in our eyes
our worlds collide
the day to my night
the night to my day
we kiss under the moon
under the sun, the sky
~~~
we travel the road of time
Not looking at the past
our present moves fast
Star dust in our eyes
Moon beams gleam
sunrise glistens
our heaven shines.

moonbeams sparkle
on the quiet lake
her sigh is soft
Lover #1 riveting moonbeams
flood calm quiescent river
loving eyes alight
Lover #2 In quiet moments
Silently I wait for you
Peering through picture window
And suddenly you appear
Ripples shimmer in soft breeze
