Darkness has fallen, but the night is still so bright.
Dancing in the shadows of the moonlight tonight.
Music playing softly, as we take another sip of wine.
I see the twinkle in your eyes, as I catch them watching mine.

The mood of the night is so peaceful and serene.
This mystical moment is almost like a dream.
The sensation of this evening stirs a passion deep within.
As I hear your soothing whisper carried on the gentle wind.

And as this midnight escapade continues to unfold.
We find within each other, a treasure to behold.
As our shadows from the moonlight dance upon the wall.
Together we will savor the enchantment of it all.

this is such a wonderful piece...
there is always something about that moonlight...and night then the wine
very romantic..
well written

If all was light...then I would have never learnt the dark...from which such truth evolves
from which evolves the light...

I remember this challenge. (?)"In the moonlight, shadows dancing?"
I'm sorry I missed this piece! You've created a very beautiful, romantic, wonderful poem from it!
Great job!    I really enjoyed this one, as for a moment, I was in a different place

Eloise... I love love poems that use the night as its setting.. moonlight is always so wonderfully intoxicating, I often sit in my garden to find the feeling that's described so vividly by your poem.. thanks!!!

not through itself,
but through the creatures
dwelling within its bosom.

this is lovely
serene and tender
with romance laced in with the shadows
a very "pretty" read  
take care
