Once upon a midnight moon,
...adrift upon a star,
I sailed eternal with the gods,
...in arms of fair Ishtar,
Seven Sisters strummed their lyres,
...sweet murmurs of the night,
Embraced as one in heaven's dance,
...in glow of welkin's light,
A mortal man by Eros lanced,
...I pulled her to my breast,
As gazed into an angel's face,
...our lips as one were pressed,
Once upon a midnight moon,
...I sailed on evening's mist,
Once upon a midnight moon,
...was by a goddess kissed.

Well Mike...I'm no expert but I swear this
one sings!!! So whimsical and free
flowing...softly yet firmly upon the cloud
of verse you weave from...beautiful work~

What celestial beauty in this piece.
I am so fond of the stories of The Pleiades.
Thanks for sharing this sparkling gem.

the only thing wrong with this sparlking jewel of a poem ...is........
that is didn't go on forever

*sigh*
exquisite ... once again

I looked into the sky for my anthem
The words and music came through
But words and music can never touch the beauty that I've seen
Looking into you

Mike,

What tender and sweet musings flowing from your pen. Well done.

If you can sing as beautifully as you write, I wouldn't mind hearing you at all.
