In the Moonlight, Shadow Dancing How these words appeal to me like the song that we heard playing that night so long ago. Dancing in the moonlight meet me after midnight, words that turned our eyes to glistening, hearts to planning a rendezvous. Oh, the romance of it took me trembling to anticipation of midnight shadow dancing, back yard lit and crickets singing, but midnight was to me a lifetime, I called him, so full of my desire that waiting was no option, at eleven o five on the dot I whispered now, not then. He was there in just a heart beat in this softly moonlit place behind the house, beyond the trees on grass that held the evening damp. Moonlight lit the loving arms that circled me and took me in to such a love that time still tells us of shadow dancing, in the moonlight of the backyard when we first loved at eleven o five.

Martie- This is sooooo pretty. Funny the things we each remembered through this challenge, huh? Yours is a touchingly tender remembrance that will stand in your memory for all time. Especially ~Eleven 0 Five~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Since I am basically a shy kind of guy... I was averting my mind... but I loved the poem. Beautifully written. [This message has been edited by Mike (edited 01-23-2000).] |

Thank you all for seeing the feeling that was so special to me, and Mike, averting your mind? Please don't do that. |

Oh my.....now what time was it agian?..LOL Excellent pictures come from these words Martie. Painted with care I don't buy temporary insanity as they murder defense. Because people kill people. That's and animal instinct. I think breaking into someone's home and ironing all their clothes is temporary insanity. |

Eleven-oh-five works for me ... (Course, so does twelve-oh-five, one-oh-five, two-oh-five, preferably back to back ...) Oops! Got a little sidetracked there!  heheheThis was tender and loving, and not at all deserving of the crass comments I have heretofore offered, but hey, that's just me. Well done, Martie, and thanks for this lovely vision! --Kess Full fathom five thy father lies, Of his bones are coral made, Those are pearls that were his eyes; Nothing of him that doth fade But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange... --William Shakespeare, from The Tempest |
