Lavender Blues

Tonight the moon in paleness full
Gathers all who view with waiting eyes
As darkness looms, and sun goes down
They see the beauty of lavender skies.

Desires glitter in eyes like stars
That rise and flicker on the velvet vast
Caged the passion, of those in love
Shadow enhanced by moonbeams cast.

Leaving trails of falling stars
Caressed by breezes in the night
That kiss them lightly as they walk
Their passions reign in soft moonlight.

Throughtout the shadows laced in glow
A painted sky begins it's play
The silent music sings it's song
Of beauty's dawning on it's way.

Wrapping up in circled warmth
As moon begins it's wane this night
They kiss the dark and dance their touch
In silent dreams, of lavender light.

There are places inside our souls -
that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts -
that need to be loved this much.

well done, MMoonchild ... like this style very much ...

Throughtout the shadows laced in glow
A painted sky begins it's play
The silent music sings it's song
Of beauty's dawning on it's way.

beautiful


My calling before me, let quill be my offering;
For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive.

A beautiful poem Maureen
we have campfires here and when the kids head to bed ... I sit and watch the fire burn down ... sometimes the wife joins me and we watch the moon and talk
well done

You turn the real world into a fairyland of love - and I love the way you do it
