Moonlit Promises

My heart contains a moonlit promise,
Warmed by memories of a kiss
Radiating from the heavens
On a moonlit night like this

I remember strolling with you
In the waves on midnight beach
On the fringe of our tomorrows
Moon and dreams within our reach

Illuminating every promise
Lighting words onto the crest
Of rolling waters flowing toward us
Love afloat on oceans breast

Waves were murmuring my feelings
Joining moon and stars above
Resounding every spoken word
That lapped in rhythms of our love

Never had I known a promise
As enchanting as the one
Spoken to a listening moon
And vanishing with dawning sun

Deception shrouds each night, and yet
When moon is sparkling on the sea
On nights like this, the heavens shine
Its diamond promises on me

OhLizzieLady~
This simply shimmers with beauty~

'Illuminating every promise
Lighting words onto the crest
Of rolling waters flowing toward us
Love afloat on oceans breast

Waves were murmuring my feelings
Joining moon and stars above
Resounding every spoken word
That lapped in rhythms of our love'

Beautiful flow to this poem Liz, and as I read the last stanza all that could run through my mind was an old saying, "a promise is a promise" I loved it!

Marge, you must have found this way in a backroom somewhere. Thank you all for your very kind comments.
