"Moonlight's Spill"


We leave the clamor of the street
long shadows laced in ivory light
with leaves aswirl beneath our feet
to stroll the pathways of the night

Our talk is light in evening's chill
as eyes betray unspoken thought
but soon in glow of moonlight's spill
in your embracing I am caught

And in this moment's tender trance
your lips brush, soft, upon my own
then sudden grasp of bold advance
an urgency I've never known

And though I fight to free away,
deny the whirling of my heart
in ecstasy of love's delay
to passion's pulsing we depart

(to be continued...)  

(I hope!)

Sometimes you can't fight that feeling.  Hope it continues for you too.  Lovely poem.

SEA, sorry about the frustration...believe me, I KNOW it! Tried writing more but just too distracted this morning. Will get there though! Thanks for reading!

Cathy, who wants to fight it??   (teasing) If I can only FIND it!! Thanks for reading and take care.

Ron, thank you. The real story... I'll have to work on that one.  Thanks for reading. I'll share more as I find it...thanks for your patience!

Sunshine, exactly. Thanks for reading and understanding. As Carson McCullers said, "the heart is a lonely hunter."  This one is a work in progress, to be sure.     Take care ~

Don't look into my eyes as you will surely see
Residing within are the secret passions of you
Please don't use my eyes to reach the depths of me
Or you will find a love that can only be true

================================

To see the whole thing you inspired...please go here.  Thank you for your verse that inspired me for this one.

This is so perfect in every way
The rhyming, the content, the phrasing
I would hope this kind of writing will be continued forever
In admiration of your talent

excellent writing RD...
youve taken the reader in well with the subtle sensuality and anticipation of this piece.
and allow me to echo Liz's comments about structure and rhyme...
cant ever go wrong quoting sweet Lizzie  
take care

Mark, thank you for your note this morning. I have just read your beautiful poem and am still smiling ~ even through the fever.    Your skill is to be admired.

Kethry, thank you so much for reading and for your nice comment. I will make it a point to try to have another installment for you this weekend, though often I am such a moody writer and go off on odd tangents. (something I'll bet we ALL do) Sometimes what I am immersed within, emotionally, is too close to write about just at that moment, and comes about at a later time. Do you find that to be true of your writing?

Elizabeth, I thank you sincerely. Your words are kind and very much appreciated this morning. I am happy that you enjoyed reading and will be sure to share more as I "find" it. (or as it finds me)  

Janet Marie, thank you. I'm glad to know that you've enjoyed reading, and I appreciate you letting me know what you think.

Our talk is light in evening's chill
as eyes betray unspoken thought

How true this statement is.
Very pretty telling of an
exciting beginning.

This reminds me of my old girlfriend Billy Jean...we lived close together so we each walked halfway thru the moonlit night to meet each other and the feelings are lonely, than exciting, than romantic...James
