Lovers Moon (revised) Where is that moon...I used to know? With butter yellow...afterglow? That listened...to my every sigh? Where has it gone...where does it lie? That magic sphere...paramours dear It shines I swear...but know not where. How have the years...made me so blind? Where is that moon...where is that mind? That rare mystic...that alchemy? That lovers seek...of revelry The keeper of...my secret store That golden Magi...lovers core That magic lantern...light of trance The light of love...that made us dance The glory of...the flowers lie How did it droop...how did it die? I stand and stare...and search the moon The sky is bare...It is high noon. |

I stand and stare...and search the moon The sky is bare...It is high noon. ===================== when you "revise" ... butterflies sigh  and SY-babes ... you cant find the moon ... in days afternoon look in northwest sky ... find it there in the winkie of an eye love this one Sy ... even with the blue moon ending tell Randy the moon is made of peanut butter and jelly... he'll fly you there *winkiewinkie* 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 ~Mission UK~ |

Thanks for the poem and reminding me I'm not far off that stage myself.  Yes, I admit your general rule. That every poet is a fool: But I myself may serve to show it. That every fool is not a poet. |

Do not despair that you're searching the sky at noon, dear Seymour... sometimes that ole moon does peek out during the day, just to see if we're paying attention. *G* And I'm sure glad I was paying attention and didn't miss this one... it's wonderful! "How have the years...made me so blind? Where is that moon...where is that mind?" ROFL in perfect understanding. *G* This is great! |

Gosh Seymour didn't anyone tell ya...ya can't see the moon at high noon...Just joking! I love all the references here to the special things the moon means to you.....they are so emotionally wonderful...great work my friend!! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |
