Underneath a Moonlit Sky

gazing deep into your eyes I see a gentle glow reflecting from above while lying underneath this moonlit sky. the silvery beams cast soft upon your alabaster skin as you lie so close to me arms and legs entwined in a lover’s embrace the pink gloss of your lips seems to glisten in the moonlight’s gentle glow lips begging to feel the tender touch of mine the moon’s gentle beams softly beckon us to continue our song of love, for you are the poetry that makes my heart sing and I the melody of your words and together the beating of our hearts compose a poetic sonata of love. May our symphony of love underneath the moonlit sky last a thousand lifetimes. July 26, 2002

A very, very passionate piece. The line "alabaster skin" is illuminating.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and comments, Ricky. We could substitute "mocha" for "alabaster" and it would be just as illuminating, even intoxicating. All the best. John
