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 I stand this moonlit night
It's I whom she sees in the morn's first light
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 scene on winter's breast,
where thoughts are drawn and peacefully diffused
.
So now, I look upon the face of time
and all my years of life become but one.
In timelessness I feel my spirits climb,
where thoughts of love and life can laugh and run.
Now I am left at peace and free to be
There lost within the moon's tranquility.
English Sonnet
"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 my heart torn.
"Don't blame this sleeping satellite,"
like me it's silent at twilight.
I blame you for the moonlit sky -
curse the night when you said goodbye.
"Did we fly to the moon too soon?"
Or did my dance not match your tune?
Now that stardust tears have run dry,
I blame you for the moonlit sky.

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 the midnight sea
you’re all i need
moonlit dreams over the midnight sea
all i wanna dream
all i wanna dream
far and wide you jumped, doved into the flowing tide
quietly, you held your cries, in need you begged and plead
disappeared before my eyes, now this voodoo spell is under me
moonlit dreams over the midnight sea
if only we could be
moonlit dreams over the midnight sea
you’re all i need
moonlit dreams over the midnight sea
all i wanna dream
all i wanna dream
blue violet hues for us to see
let us be, let us flee, to the sea
moonlit dreams over the midnight sea
if only we could be
moonlit dreams over the midnight sea
you’re all i need
moonlit dreams over the midnight sea
all i wanna dream
all i wanna dream
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

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 glint of glow .
Those choco eyes have lost their luster ,they've turned vacant and cold ,
Those eyes of molten memories that gazed into my own .
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 ,Now glassy like the moonlit snow ...
Those eyes became part of the night , so far away from home.
So far away from open arms that kept waiting for him
Far from a lonesome feeling residing deep within .
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 tint of glow .
A poem inspired by the love song - 'The circle of life and The One ' by Sir. Elton John.
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 begging to feel
the tender touch of mine
the moon’s gentle beams
softly beckon us to
continue our song of love, for
you are the poetry
that makes my heart sing
and I the melody of your words
and together the beating of our hearts
compose a poetic sonata of love.
May our symphony of love
underneath the moonlit sky
last a thousand lifetimes.

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.

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
with pleasure
as the honeysuckle
and wisteria share
their sweet potent scent
under cover of darkness
beguiling the succulent
to come and play
----------------
The softest of whispers
hear we now ……
the hushed soothing
sound in the darkness
as the breeze
gentles its breath
and the spider spins
another web with
thoughts of prey
dancing tautly,
wrapped and served warm
on her homemade
moonlit tray

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 to rise
and sunshine rays break at dawn
These little people just disappear
Not a trace of them left on the lawn!

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
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 pulsing fingers..?
or perhaps mine, trembling now in anticipation.
This magic voice under bright crescent moon, lingers,
finally rememb'ring love's sweet translation.
We quit all the old games, forgot their petty names..,
two lovers, sought youth again, with loving wings.
No, that's not a tear of sadness, my heart alight in gladness,
this luckiest of fools, caught in rapt angel eyes, sings!
Irrational, gibbering song grips moonstruck heart so thrilled,
though I really don't give a damn.
Passion felt in quivering, longing lips, more any wish yet fulfilled,
makes me glad that I'm a man.
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 instant.
Walking aimlessly on roads not straight.
Dried up kisses that dissolved with fate.
I measured love from heights to tall.
Leaving hopeless dreams that we're left to fall.
I stand alone with shoulders empty.
But the cracks of a heart will mend and be free.
Moonlight shines against the darkness of the road
Showing the way to travel home
So many questions left unanswered
But a longing to be free
No more loving words entwined with lie's
Broken promises weaved into my soul like a work of art
I wish I knew hurt was your lovers disguise
Id of saved my tears and stopped my cries
No more toying with the frayed stitching of my life
When you wrapped yourself round my heart
I should of stopped it from the start.
~*~
I stand alone, happy to be me
Free..

Fireflies reel as autumn arrives
Shimmering into kohl of night,
Tiny plumes charm ...in moonlit dives
To rollercoast until twilight--
To later fade, die from my sight!
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 great integrity
whose fondness for the twilight hour,
is shared with me in unity
in grandeur of nature's power.
The stars reflected in his eyes
enchants my soul upon this night,
we gaze in love, with moonlit skies
as crickets serenade 'til light.
