To love the Moon !
A friend told me about an adventure they had dancing in the moonlight my imagination got going and the poem below was the result.
Per amore la Luna -to love the moon ( Ode to Laluna )
Sweltering in the midnight haze
Drifting rain burst from the clouds,
Clear and fresh, through the darkness,
Sweet relief, from summers press .
Through the window, she spies the green-grass
As the rain comes falling down
Dazedly she thinks of dancing,
Dancing naked neath the moon.
Proudly naked like a newborn
She stepped into enfolding darkness,
Darkness warm upon her skin
Enlightened by moons, silver sheen.
Black hair floating all about her
A gossamer and tangled skein.
Burnished silver by the moonbeams
Enchanted sight, though sight unseen.
Midnight rain and summer breezes
touch her face, her arms, her flesh
Rills of sweet, new-water
Flowing like a Lovers sweet-caress.
Limbs made graceful by the moonlight
Eyes reflecting stars above
head uplifted, gently swaying
With the trees and midnight breeze.
To see her there is blissful torture to the man who’s passing by
While she continues gaily dancing
Unaware he sees her grace.
Eyes fixated, mind absorbed, her naked body, her smiling face.
In the years to come he will see her
Proudly naked neath the moon
Forever young and all beguiling
a fleeting moment , gone to soon.
