   Just before
   the man in the moon
   tipped his hat
   and bid the yawning stars
   a fond farewell,
   Just before
   the incessant sun
   stretched and made it's
   grandiose entrance
   with a radiant hello,
   You kissed me
   and the difference
   between night and day
   became
   insignificant.

Thankyou Floria and Brian for reading and for your kind responses. My muse has been on holiday, and I was nervous to post - it has been a long time. Chris

It would take me more words in my reply than you used in your poem to tell you how impressive this is. The imagery based on your choice of wording is awesome and it leaves the reader with a nice warm feeling at the end...I like it!!

WOW talk about making a fellas day. Paint a Mona Lisa and deliver it to him with a smile....Tell a fella this and he would take out the trash was the dishes, fold the clothes, cut the grass, and wash the windows all before he drove the kids to school.

Anybody know what time it is?
I got a little lost there for a moment,
lost my bearings.
I think I regained control but another kiss like that I maybe lost forever.
