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.

ya know...there sure is a whole lotta mooning going on in here (haha)
couldnt resist
this is soooo sensual and full of that ache I love so...
and its requited for a change
ahhhh that back yard of yours ... tis paradise I tell ya
beautiful Martie...I was so hoping you had one to repost

As sure as God made wine
you can't wrap your arms around a memory
In the dark for me
youre the candle flame that flickers to life
