Sunrise, Moonrise

Gold
affects
a black sky
unveils blue seas
awakes blends of life
tans gods and goddesses

dazzles mid heavens girth
gleams a quasi-earth
flip-side vibrate's
slips and bade
fill tones
white.

A moonrise over the bluff
 the earth is alive
 showing off her beauty in a ray of colors
 As the waves roll in hitting the sandy shore
 there's no place you would rather be
 a perfect moment in a perfect place
 nothing but you &...

Light shimmered on the lake at moonrise
a breathtaking view that glimmers
Lively serpentine swimmers
flow below astral skies
Ripples, side by side
roil to provide
reflections
on the 
tide.

Ride
a wave
as enslaved
'Neath Luna's pale
luminance, they sail
upon waters of Earth
Calm, the night above the firth
except for lonesome, cooing doves
thirsting, like me, yearning to...

Artemis is not gloriously radiant as her brother.
She shimmers in dark behind the clouds.
The light of Apollo makes the world smothered,
Whereas peace is what his sister endows.
As the moon rises, this goddess is shy,
Hiding in the fog and watching the world she treasures.
Artemis croons a...

The moon rises shy...                  
A fat honeyed egg climbing
From a nest of trees               ...

A moonrise
is the start of dream time
as one shuts their eyes
to enter their inner world
seeing wonders that limitlessly defy common sense
to remind all that there
is more to life
than we can see...

she rose
from the waters
dazzling like a woman 
who bathed in her lovers wanton
wild gaze...

I
At about the same space, eastwards
About eight hours after noon
- yes, it was night - miracle for me
I saw a sun rising ... Exactly as at dawn
A peeking, reddening of sky, creeping up
An amazing moonrise. In my 63rd year...

Now bring your rain to fall on me
To wash away my deep regrets
I know how lost it all can be
To one who's only seen sunsets
But rise, pure heart, sweet sanguine gem
But rise, and I cannot condemn
Nor you, nor I, nor all the world
Can know the...

she wants to be a star
i want to be a hero
we want to break the ice
so we become a combined source of warmth

she wants to join the others
i want to be myself
we want to soothe the modern melancholy
so we become a combined clear road steadily...

We'll dance under twinkling stars
Just the two of us...

I'm not asking for the world. 
I don't need your eyes locked on me, 
My launch codes don't need a key. 
I don't want to be smothered 
In smoky love 
Danger ahead, and danger below. 
I don't need constant reassurance, 
Or twenty four hour surveillance...

the blazing heat subsidies now
sun has settled now

so close it is wow
I see the moon rising now
evening here's sunset
