Full moon, suspended
Dangling, florescent,
golden ball, I worship thee,
viewed in your entirety
You're like my loves
Scintillating,
while they last.
Wanting a love to endure
not wax and wane like moons
Disillusioned
by desires
for love to burn eternal.
My love and I bathing in
the golden glow of moonbeam
cast upon us like a floodlight
Lie in her circle of luminesque
our bodies still and in repose
naked, arms and legs intertwined.
Motionless bodies captured
in a circle of stagelight
like a fawn caught in flight and
suddenly stilled at twilight
one leg lifted,
ears cocked
lithe body poised
frozen,
like a still life.

I love this poem Joy it reminds me just a little of one I wrote a few months ago called "watery depths"... reflections based on the Moon Tarot card.
ReplyDeleteBut I like yours better. Mine focuses on the influence of the moon on water and emotion, yours deals with gentle depth of passion and love.. it has a soft feel to it.
nice moon! I see you have the kitty too;-)
ReplyDeleteAs our dear Lenny sings, "on a bed where the moon has been sweating, in a cry filled with footsteps and sand..."
ReplyDeleteAh yes, scintillating while they last.
While they last. There's the crux.
Deer imagery supreme.
That's a picture-perfect state to be suspended in with your lover. Well painted by you.
ReplyDeleteThe fawn imagery was nice, indeed and so was the image of 'cocked ears, lithe body...'.

what a great combination, the poem and the superb photo... I can see how you wrote that all inspired. Purely magical and unbridled, pretty much like the subject. Lovely poem!
ReplyDeleteI love full moons. I can't comment on your poem because, even though I am married to a poet, I don't always understand them. But I like to thank you for the visit.
