Walking under the harvest moon
Pitch black ~ so Erie
But magnificent moon
Captivated by its beauty
Looking over the water
No street lights~ stars shine bright
How i love the moon and stars
Come walk with me tonight
Dancing in the moonlight
Sigh ~ let it shine forever
Stars twinkled all over the sky
Like an orchestra playing a symphony
Perfect moment in time under ~Harvest moon
Mon amour
it’s you
I adore
Moonstruck—
I am over
the moon
for you
Will moonlight
delight
be ours
tonight?
Moon ami
shower me
with beams
of dreams—
rays
that will
keep me
amazed
as I take
a chance
on romance
In firelight, moved by percussive beat
along with a tambourine’s jingle-jangle,
a young girl swirls on tiny dancing feet.
Around her ankles twirl large bangles.
As she thrusts and twists her hips petite,
her clothing, with bright adornments, spangles.
Her face in moonlight is so joyous and sweet
as faster and faster she brings gypsy heat.

Long ago beneath the moonlight glow
We danced together, up close and slow
Caressed by midnight’s velvety hue
You asked me if I would marry you.
My soul went soaring to outer space
I whispered I would, as my heart raced
Though many obstacles came our way
We huffed and puffed and blew them away.
They sway to a waltz in each others arms
inhaling the scent of their partners charms
In passionate moves upon the dance floor
to gentle romantic musical score.
‘Twas her first taste of an amorous dance
they had only just met by happen chance
She blushed crimson as their hearts beat as one
beneath the glitter ball her brown eyes shone.
The music faded as he kissed her hand
then softly whispered he thought she was grand
And said if she was to be here next week
he would be sweeping her right off her feet.
She was walking on air on the way home
reliving the dance in the moonlight roam
Sweet special moments in time to treasure
that will live on in her heart forever.
moonlit beach
shadows flit furtive
tide recedes
waves curl up
dark fingers flick across sand
gambling with the sea
pale moonbeams
thread gold filaments
sewing trails
stitching lines
weaving form in shaken dreams
stirred, not yet awake
dawn appears
black waves surge closer
as tide turns
sleep departs
shadows slip 'n slide away
back into the sea
Knotted beating hearts slow dance in the night,
In mysterious, enchanting moonlight.
Drawn to the beguiling stars all about,
Obscured by drifting clouds, dance in delight.
Moon stepped from the shadows and advanced her
Noble grace, weaving silver beams and lace
Round Venus, Pluto, Mars, and Jupiter,
Threading them together in her embrace.
Dancing in the summer moonlight.
Stars twinkle in harmony like piano notes.
Wishing this night never ends.

Full moon delights, fascinates me.
Thrills me to go outside and see.
It brightens the black sky at night,
makes me dance under the moonlight.
Full moon casts a mystical glow
that gives me peace, magical flow
of intense energy, delight,
makes me dance under the moonlight.
It illuminates in the dark,
very visible when pitch-dark.
Gazing at the bewitching sight,
makes me dance under the moonlight.
Puts me in a trance, in a spell.
Aura of balance, I sense well.
Moon ring brings out spellbinding light,
makes me dance under the moonlight.
It would be good
to be a thought set free
of what holds it here
in time and space,
to go wherever a whim
might take it,
some far galaxy
or a small pond in a garden
bathed in moonlight.
It would be good
to be caught in the gravity
of the Sublime and begin
that slow spiral dance inwards
towards the centre
of all things.
It’s 1:25 why oh why
Am I up at this hour
Did the phone ring
Or was it a denim dream
Planted in mind like green flower
Earlier today was only half awake
Was fatigued and really annoyed
Not even piano could I play
To fill the blue thrilless void
Oh poetry come rescue me
Give breath to dormant thoughts
Green like my snake plant leaves
Or red like bedroom lover hearts
Take me to your room poetic muse
And strip me of my clothes
Let our kinetic kisses burgundy bloom
Placed from head to brown toes
Rid me of this waste of night
Where fireflies dance upon moonlight
Give me inspiration for life
Devour me like blackberry pie.
In his arms she danced
her slender figure swaying
moonlight shines above
Sister Moonlight in your glass slippers
Come dance with me amongst the stars
We'll Pirouette by both the Dippers
And do the Waltz in front of Mars
Let's Swing around each constellation
Then Two-Step watching new stars born
We'll Hip Hop with no hesitation
And do the Tango till the morn
Oh Sister Moonlight hear my song
Reflecting all my words of love
We can sleep in peace all day long
Then dance amongst the stars above
Like a bird with no nest in Spring, wandering from tree to tree ~the young lady thought.
Like a sailboat with no sails,
adrift in the lonely ocean left to its fate ~the young lady shivered.
Like a child without presents at Christmas, wondering if Santa Claus lost the address ~the young lady was heartbroken.
She walked alone in the harsh
blizzard looking for her prince, her aching heart was bleeding
after losing the love of her life.
Overcome with grief, the young lady disappeared into the freezing dark lake to meet her beloved one.
Sometimes, beside the lake, you can listen to the Lady of the Lake singing in the winter nights.
Sometimes, under the moonlight, you can see two shapes embraced dancing above the waters.
In the hidden world, where dreams dance,
I venture in search of concealed mysteries,
Where the moon weaves tales in silver rays,
And stars whisper secrets in the depth of the night.
Fairy feathers, shining in the moonlight,
Hidden in the heart of the forest, where time stands still,
In every leaf, in every dewdrop,
Magic is born, wrapping everything in a dreamy aura.
Amethyst fruits, growing on opal branches,
With a sapphire core, shining in the dark,
And their seed: a precious stone, carved by the wind,
Glowing in a thousand colors, singing ancient songs.
I love the murmur of rivers flowing through emerald valleys,
Where nymphs dance and sirens sing,
And in every hidden corner, in every shadow,
Magic awakens, bringing with it endless wonders.
