Hello, Moon
Virginia Salter

Hello, Moon
Oh, white knight of evening
low, fully round
lending your light
to starry-eyed
children of earth,
would-be lovers

your glow enamors
entices
seduces them
into bending to your spell
your magic
woven about them
as web spun
to capture
their every whim

your deep set, tranquil eyes,
looking like vast seas,
and alluring smile
reel them in
to your wizardry
they fold before you
conceding defeat
to a summer evening’s
trance

VAS~
This is absolutely lovely, my dear! Such imagery -- I can see myself dancing in the moonlight already! (I have this thing for moonlight anyway...)

and I am all the better for it~

wonderful imagery here Virginia ...
I like the mystic, cryptic feel you wrote of the moons allure.
Margie will love this one
excellent write

In the evening when you see my eyes
Looking back at you no disguise
Im not sure who you think youll see
Im just hoping youll still know that its me

I love these images! And what better day for them. Thanks. So glad most everybody seems to be happy today.
