Best Moonlit Poems

On the balcony I stand this moonlit night
Behind me she sleeps content within sight

If I stand to my left, allowing the moons pass
This lunar beam delights my beautiful lass

Dark haired, tanned, amidst silken white sheets
Two loves of my life in glowing right meet

Open doors where...

Like fingers, lovely birch tree shadows play
on virgin snow like hands upon a sheet;
so bright the moon, it seems like light of day,
yet stars among the forest's members peek.

And ... while my love lies pleasantly at rest,
I dream awake and contemplate my muse,
enraptured by this...

"I blame you for the moonlit sky,"
in its grandeur our souls would fly.
We were devoted just like stars,
wrote about it in our memoirs.

But your love changed then wonder why
I blame you for the moonlit sky?
"In the rush of the race" for dawn,
you vanished to leave...

hand in hand we ran, part our way through the crowd
without a light across the meadow glow
in disbelief, false or true? you’re forced to flee
side by side into the night here we go 

moonlit dreams over the midnight sea
if only we could be
moonlit dreams over...

I watched him in a dusky street walking all alone ,

As he reached closer to me the mystery has been gone .

I knew those eyes that once shone bright , like colours of a latin marigold ...

Those eyes became part of the night without a...

a river sprite’s at play tonight
chasing fireflies above a stream
meandering through the tropics
where royal palms’ crowns genuflect
moonlight and pixie dust glow on ripples
the great horned owl wakes and stretches his wings

Moonlit Snow

So swiftly snow cascaded wide and deep;
Now pristine blankets of white wonder gleam.
Only the moon observes while earth's asleep
With snowfall magic and its peaceful dream.

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...

Moonlit Buffet
 
Is that laughter I hear
 floating about in the air
 or the cooing of the breeze
 as it teases the willow
 to dance with giggling glee
 before the sun sounds
 its final drum beat
 and night descends
 ------------ 

Inhale deeply…..
 drown peacefully

Deep at the bottom of my garden
I have witnessed an amazing sight
Fairies, gnomes and pixies
Having a party in the moonlight

They are magical little creatures
Dancing around sleeping flowers
It’s a breathtaking sight if you see them
I'm enchanted by their antics for hours

But the second the sun begins...

Neath moonlit heavens

Hold me close
neath moonlit heavens
Fill my dreams
with endless bliss
Take my breath,
for you I’m breathing
Let me feel
your tender kiss

Make me whole,
my heart is waiting
Sing to me
your joyous song
Show me light
in stardust twinkles
In your arms
here all night long

Good night Soupers...

Sitting under the moon so bright, 
Our eyes locked in a midnight minute. 
Our hearts collided and we were one. 
As young love had now begun. 
Blinded by love and by passion, 
Her heart had been shattered. 
Her future had been taking away in an...

Lank shimmery hair flows off her shoulders
Cascading aloft sweet midnight zephyr
Alone she sits perched on seaside boulders
Under somber moonlight where he'd left her

Night after night she's at the rendezvous
Serene silhouette against the skyline
Amorously bidding her love adieu
Should by design the stars divine align

The twilight shadows...

In the heart of a moonlit smile,
as the sky is alight with fire,
I behold a woman of style,
in sunset she shines with desire.
a love-light glow upon her face, 
her temple shining so divine,
I hold close, her Heavenly grace,
with angelic love, she does shine.

A man of...

Nestled here beside you, night fell without a single care,  
though pins and needles may soon claim arm's clutch.
Precious time all mine, drunk on the smell of you so near,
would stay beside 'til last loss of feeling touch.

Is that your heartbeat caught in soft...
