Stirring me deeply, this sight
as a lover’s moon rose behind
the seaward shore.

Each passionate step, each
sensuous sway bringing
my eyes more intently
upon her.

A silhouette of femininity,
crystal pure, as the moon’s
rays flowed through her
hair.

Let not the sun rise, nor
the moon set.  For of
this I wish to rest
eternally in slumber
until her soft lips lightly
brush mine and a cascade of stars
fall
   from
        the night skies..

I wish someone had said this to me!

Always look forward, never look back, dreams are much more refreshing than regrets.

Wow, very sensual yet romantic at the same time.

I like the cascading effect of the last couple of lines.

Are you sure you didn't mean
shaken, not stirred?

Wonderful poem, Sir....
