Luna

by Maria Massarella


'Tis cold this night
filled with moonlight. In
your glance invitation’s
glow moves lips to
soundless speak the
words that mute to
mist on glass
drops
of silence
echo quiescent needs

You lure me to contemplate
what arms may not embrace
yet spirit does. If
dance be your wish
wear not the desolate
mantle of aloneness when
stars would sparkle
for you only … I know.
I came to gaze
while radiant you
arose behind the trees
shadows of leaves
laced your mysticness

Thank you

Photobucket

for the path you beam within
these rooms. You know me
like no other. It
takes but a moment
the space
of a breath inhaled
to touch magic surrender

These walls fade
into infinite blueblack skies
these ceramic tiles
melt to golden sand
waves of rustling leaves
echo the murmurs 
of ocean
breeze

Night musics your whisper

Who else can capture this 'mysticness'and depict with the echo of the 'murmurs of ocean breeze', other than the moondancer, with the brilliant strokes of her magic brush radiating beauty

Moondancer keep dancing sprinkling poetic pixie dust to all who visit waiting on the next drop of wonder to spill from your pen. smh

Beautiful, serene, and magical. I especially liked, "You lure me to contemplate what arms may not embrace yet spirit does" - I agree whole heartedly with Ashok. :-)

Ah I can feel the moonlight now bathing my body in its rapture. Vivid images
