Moonlighting Poems | Examples


Premium MemberOptimistic Moonlighting Trimeric

Mormo nudges Moros shoulder hard,
chthonic behavior a bleak dance;
Cocytus is swollen with sad souls,
what direction do explosives flow? 

Chthonic behavior a bleak dance,
it’s so easy to learn the steps to;
Be courageous, favor bold fortune! 

Cocytus is swollen with sad souls,
Swim against this trend even alone,
capture optimistic moonlighting;

What direction do explosives flow?
Cerberus and Acanthodonto,
maybe the secret’s in their tension.

Moonlighting In June

Doctor Jekyll's special starling,
shortly pealed off, started snarling,
molting inside,
till speaks Miss. Hyde,
"Tough to be out cliched, darling."

Moonlighting

There once was a pretty young miss
Who discovered her clito-ris
To her delight
She found each knight
Could lead to a life of pure bliss

MOONLIGHTING

swaddled by the stars,
moonlight swaying.
obeying sandswept eyes
and yawns of sleep.

dreams appearing
in seraphic shadows,
lighting up the inner room —
anamnesis of sunlight breadth.

drilling of the hands
and feet in repetition —
knitting needles syncing, lips
rehearsing the alphabet.

dot to dot of neuron hours
handsomely pieced
in gigantic looms. pillow
cosseting psychic depth.

Premium MemberMoonlighting Kisses Deeply

Kissing you 
in the moonlight 
sun shining delight
I wrote this
for only you

Looking upon 
a moon face
ground covered
in snow 
almost looks
like daytime 
as the moon sparkles 
like diamonds reflecting 
on a snowy surface 
dreaming of you

In the moonlight 
finger beams paint 
silvery glistens 
softy upon skin 
touching gently moonbeams 
a desiring beauty 

Queen of the night 
shining one star 
brightly on love 
emotions dream 
softly gleaming 
dusting feelings 
upon a silver trail 
loves miracle 

Every wish 
I whisper granted 
smiles happiness 
dancing joyfully 
the soul naked 
on a broken 
stream of light 

Shadows stray 
kissing emotions 
an angel sings 
in sweet harmony 
heaven opens 
in song singing 
I love you 
we openly kissed 
bathed in moonlight

Moonlighting

Moonlighting

 In the moon year
 I began to ponder
 Of trial about life’s racing,
 I thought of life and prayer
 I thought of blessing.

 Under the clean moonlight,
 In the shadow of my hallowed skin
 Where the bright moon manifest
 And cascades down my path,
 I went to the seashore,
 Where the gay moon cast
 Aspersion on the ocean face,
 I saw the rising moon tide
 Overwhelmed the uncertain starfish;
 Back to where it belongs,
 As the moon tide caressed my feet;
 I looked at the meek moon
 I saw a friend,
 A body guard against the uncertain world;
 The caressing moonshine catalyzed my dream,
 I lay back on the sand
 And i followed the lost moon.

         Some may not be familiar with the meaning of the term, "moonlighting" ..it's  doing   or   performing a different service or job than your usual..mostly to earn an extra income.

Premium MemberThe Man Is Moonlighting

Once a month Earth’s moon takes another gig
     Moonlighting in a far-off galaxy
The lunar eclipse only veils the truth
     The man in the moon is an absentee

Decades peering down, he needs some relief
     He’s seen famine, wars and catastrophes
His face now pocked by craters of despair
     His other world? Fewer calamities!

He’s often afraid to show his full face
     So he waxes and wanes in synchrony
Slivers sometimes, half globes make their debuts
     Full orb appears with lovers’ harmony

Contrary to most popular beliefs
     Werewolves do not gain power from his light
The man in the moon beams with a full grin
     When we follow a path righteous and bright 

This is the reason we see harvest moons
     At times when we reap the best seeds we’ve sewn
The man who watches us is happy then
     Bright orange smile -- appreciation shown
