     Yes I am moonstruck
      romantically dreamy

     I am full of thoughts
      hungry to be poetic

 I’m trite but eager to rise...

we spot a full moon
heading home after dinner
our heads and hearts are lifted

pausing on our way
this bright usher of intrigue
beckons us to sing and dance

Once a cowboy went to modern city
Was moonstruck to see a charming beauty
He brought her to his ranges
Both made many life changes
She rode horses and he did house duty

Who knows what the moon does
When we aren't staring?
Cosmic shining orb of glass
With its quiet daring.

Silent keeper of the night
Hovering in space.
Ancient mirror, you delight:
Reflecting our Sun's face....

searching 4 the other half,
like a moonstruck poddy calf,
yes i've been down that street,
so recent in this heat,
but when jupiter meets mars,
how sweet...
so complete when love is ours...
thank you Laura B.......

A STELLAR NIGHT

Stars studded sky
bring brimming brightness.
Moon magnified moonglow
making moon-lovers mystified,
magically mesmerized, moonstruck.

Such a night!
Such
A night.
Shadows flit in starlight.
We kiss.
We
Kiss!
On a moonstruck night
Like this.
Such a thrill.
What
A thrill!
Hear nightingale trill.
Darkness.
Caress.
Gone forever
Loneliness.
Lover's dreams.
Sweet
Dreams.
Moonbeams....

My mind sighs blackberries 
and a moonstruck melody 
plays along my spine 
as I soak up the fruited juice 
of I love you coloring your lips. 
The cherry blush of breathless, 
And a smile amid the wash 
Of blueberry eyes, should indicate 
My intended reply....

Through the looking-glass we go
seeking truth and maybe magic.
Worldly things are all we know
in this place that's somewhat tragic.

Open wide those moonstruck eyes;
redemption's deep upon you now.
Gaze beyond those earthly ties;
draw upon your light somehow....

I thrill to yellow platters of iris against Spring black blue skies,
I am moonstruck by their essence and reflection in Nature's eyes. 
For their secret night cooling breeze.
I long to draw in their perfumy breath and blow it from me
Emeralding around their friends’ night symphonies.
And send it to you with my love....

Marine metropolis,
manatees moving methodically,
mackerel moseying,
maiden mermaid muses,
many much moxie magical mermen,
magnetic, masculine, mystical,
masters melodious mellow maritime music,
midsummer marvelous, merry,
myself-moonstruck mania minded,
my mission- meeting mesmerizing,
mysterious, mischievous,
magnificent merman!...

churning
mind
on idle
the moon
struck three

eyes latched
vagrant
onto stars
out the
open window

moonluster
nebulousness
of dulcet
remembrances
mesmerized

moonstruck
at three ten

A brown cloud descends
on charcoal sketch.
Moonstruck , a blast begins.

Marigold, beware:
sun is going to hide
behind the stings.

The fang penetrates deep, 
in the breast
of sleeping pride.

A golden god
melts in the arms
of mercy.

The lips suck the blue poison
of the hymns.
The saint was a killer.

I am a ravaged begger
who wants nothing
from the moon !

Sunday evening stretches and yawns
  drowsy as a tender fawn
Who frolics and plays throughout the day
  then curls up midst leaves to lay

While sleep overspreads her dewy head
  constellations crisscross above her head
How sweetly angels sing in her soft ears
  a moonstruck smile o'er her lips appears


     ~ Sweet dreams, everyone! ~

I listen to the howling of the wind
hear not her cries
know not her pain.

I listen to the roaring surf growl
as it devours
the fleeing shore.

I listen to the serenade
sparrows welcoming
a rising sun.

I listen to the baying
moonstruck
wolves.

Yet hear
only life’s
reverberating chant.

littered twigs now stale
unlike past season,  enhanced
by rapture of air whistling

shades of veiled light
hide her bloomed  navel with child
on path of forgotten love

hunched eyes fall on ground
clawing moonstruck reveries
of how he betrayed night's trust

fetus kicks gently
stirring her to warm hope's dream
for new life cradled by womb

Drifting through the small meteor cluster
Red Giants so soon lose their luster
Andromeda's  spiral army
Where moonstruck the horizon hard
Atmosphere called her advance guard
Blue Dwarf soldiers burn out  brightly
Planets are aligned, our brothers
Leaning upon one another
Orphan stars, no longer lonely

So this is called a Nove Otto and I hope I did it some justice....

O, to dream of mythic trails, velvet underfoot
    to float on whipped-cream waves of desire
  To feel your soft contours sigh in sync with mine
    mint vapors to inhale, on moonstruck wishes to dine 

  To saunter down sandy boardwalks and disappear
    sans white buds or jeweled baubles in ageless ears
  Missionaries unflinching, for unrepentant good
    ere sunrise flickers out 'neath ashes of widowhood...

MOONSTRUCK


Her   bright  face  perfect   here  floating
Always  thru  the  window darkling
Face   to  face like true friend would 
My   troubles  by her understood
Around  me  constantly, unchanging.  


Sometimes  lost  in  daylight  loud
Or soft  light  dimmed with  viewless  cloud
Companion  with  me  as  I      move
Never   did   her  love    remove                   
Strength   in  my  dark,   never  bowed....

Searching for pot of gold  
Yearning in wishful, somnolent
Having vision with sudden 
Startled, stargazing, jealousy 
And snoozing, a loudly, in ecstacy
Whilst, summer sleeps, quietly into shine
And morning sings, with symphonic splendor
The sunshine closes into purple rays 
My mind reflections dancing 
Being moonstruck up in clouds  
Dreaming, building castles in air
In marvel, flight, fancy
Of summer pie in the sky...
