The moonlight rises, falls, and dips,
as through the waning clouds it slips.
To grant to me with fragile touch,
a silver kiss upon my lips.

Our heatbeats seem to intertwine.
I gently hold your gaze in mine.
The darkness softens in respect,
to let the moment briefly shine.

My fingertips begin to trace,
the shadows cast upon your face.
I long to hold the moment still,
and keep you in my safe embrace.

Our only watcher's silver sight,
bathes us in romantic light.
I feel your breath upon my cheek,
and softly kiss your lips goodnight.


Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

This is dang good writing!  I don't know why this has only one reply!

The iambic octameter and rhyming in this poem are excellent.  You've spared little effort at making this poem a very good read.  The imagery is quite spectacular as well.

On the whole, a great job here!

Okay, okay. This is - very beautiful. With the moon's "silver sight." Your rhymes always seem to manage to escape triteness, which is a definite plus. But - spelling mistake. "Entertwine" should be "intertwine." (I told you!!) I like this a lot, even thought I am anal.

Fractal - This is Iambic Tetrameter, my friend.  Notice how it has four iambic feet, rather than eight as does Octameter.

Peter - Awesome poem.  I know what you meant by this being your favourite of yours as far as meter and rhyme are concerned, it's just fabulous.  You ended it very professionally, it's this kind of poem that gets published, in my opinion.  Beautiful.  Magnificent.  Everything about this is superb.
That's enough for your ego now.  
I'll just add this to my library and be on my way.

Jeepers! (does anyone use that word anymore...GAH! I hope this doesn't make me look like a dork. too late...)
You've really got a romantic touch to your poem...the whole thing flows together really nicely. I can almost picture a silver lining running through the entire piece. Great stuff. Keep it up!

Ban, this is beautiful. These descriptions are magnificant, paving the way for magical imagery.
This is one of my favourite pieces I have read in this forum.

Bravo! To the library, you go!
