Moonshine Poems

Premium MemberMelody Of Moonshine


We’ll dance to the melody of moonshine
till the sun rises at the dreaming dawn.
I know you’ll truly be absolutely mine
before to the horizon I’m forever gone.

We’ll dance to the tune of spring breeze,
wafting on the rhythm of the stardust.
You’ll know what true love really is,
when I’ll sail beyond the sea of lust. 

We’ll dance to

Premium MemberCadence Of Moonshine


The luminous crescent of shining silver sliver ascends
with silent slither on the satin slope of the sapphire sky,   
entices the cadence of dancing sequins sprayed by nebula,
pulsates through the phosphorus glow of the argentine night.

Rhapsody rolls on the waltzing ripples of the rapturous river,
performed in the ballet of myriad floating flakes of the

Respite in the Moonshine

Candle glow at midnight,
The hatch is locked
A scrambling splutter
As I reach for the key of circles, bolts and lines.
But just as before. The circle ends 4 corners behind
And I'm scrambling again for another key
I plead the glow;
It flickers as I-
Well, I,
I cherish my existence once more
As another circle starts to grow...
My foot taps to the

Premium MemberGlass Slipper in Moonshine

Midnight came and went as perilous as a wolf howling at the moon.
—by poet

Tease of time, palpitating pearls,
she’s flirting with the bluest eyes,
framed in heaven’s clouds. Girlish curls
capture a sigh and peer clockwise.
With princess charm, she winked, half-turned
to run, ascend the starry night.
One glass slipper in moonshine; spurned
like a pauper in class-ignite.
Will the foolish prince

Moonshine

Today the sun is shining
Tonite there will be a bad moon rising
It is killing season
As usual for no reason

One member split on one of their own 
They going to catch him and take him down
They going to take him down to the river
And remove his liver.

As the member shakes and shiver
He thinks about the river
A

Moonshine

Oh, Moonshiner, man of the mountains high, 
Where whispers of wind and wildcats' cry. 
Your heart a kiln, your soul aflame, 
With the secret of white lightning's name.

In hollows deep, your still does hum, 
A symphony of steam, a hidden drum. 
From fields of corn, a golden juice, 
To fiery spirit, in silver cruse.

They call

Snow drop moonshine 
     star threaded 
           blanket;

       Partied hard; 
        Squandered 
         your light 
 elevating in dreams.

Premium MemberMaiden of Musical Moonshine


Music is an undying 
art of soul ~ 
an abstract eden, where, 
euphonious unicorns 
glide in strawberry sonatas, 
amplifying rhapsody in
ballads of flight, 
when fuchsia feathers
tease those 
jingling breezes, 
infusing breaths
in every lifeless aroma;
where I can soar 
beyond the 
brushstrokes 
of symphonies that
planktons sing to me, 
in the requiems of 
forsaken pearls, 
crooning with 
silenced

Premium MemberMoonshine And Mr Baine


So much of yesterday I can clearly see.
There was a man duly a part of my history.
He lived up the road a short distance from us.
We passed his house every day to catch the school bus.

Everyone called him by his last name, which was Baine.
I remember a face that seemed filled with lots of pain.

Premium MemberWatching

The ancient slivered 
   white moon piece 
   hangs   webbed,
Quite entangled
   in the unyielding   wintering 
   of maple's   stark branching.

As watch   watching   does he watch,
   that thin silvered   white moon crescent,

That flows as follows
