These are two seperate poems, which can be read as one when you put them next to each other. However, in order to make it work, I had to adjust one line. Enjoy.

Bathing In Moonlight

Full moon, your magic light shines down on me,
Your silver spell a cherished memory,
Illuminating beams; sweet mystery.

You bring my spirit utter ecstasy,
Delightful light of perfect harmony,
Full moon, your magic light shines down on me.

You calm my storms till I feel heavenly,
Your touch is like a lover's hand on me,
Illuminating beams; sweet mystery.

Seductive flirt with my reality,
You chain my heart; bequeathing liberty,
Full moon, your magic light shines down on me.

Alluring dreams into conspiracy
Of moon lit images illusory.
Illuminating beams; sweet mystery.

A silver frail note flutters playfully,
Enchanting melody; night's symphony,
Full moon, your magic light shines down on me,
Illuminating beams; sweet mystery.

Luna

Your firmaments compose the poetry,
Alike the Northern Light enchanting me,
You are this poet's utmost fantasy.

My Luna: temptress, waiting patiently,
Bereaving lonely hearts of sanity,
Your firmaments compose the poetry.

As stars sing me a nightly symphony,
Evoking images romantic'lly,
You are this poet's utmost fantasy.

A moonlit flight throughout felicity,
Restoring hope in love and honesty,
Your firmaments compose the poetry.

While lovers fall into your lunacy,
Creating visions of false destiny,
You are this poet's utmost fantasy.

Alike a whisper from infinity,
Enticement into sweet serenity,
Your firmaments compose the poetry,
You are this poet's utmost fantasy.

Munda, this is a fine piece of creative writing! I appreciate the difficulty of the villanelle form---but you elevated that difficulty with this double whammy! Well, done! No, superbly done!

Munda, you make it look so easy many will never understand just how difficult something like this really is. You are a poet's poet, my girl...
