By The Light Of The Moon
She bathes in the soft light,
In the cool and quiet night,
As the moon watches her closely from afar,
Like wishes in a fleeting dream,
The aura biers in a desired mien,
With a swoon she's adored by other stars.
He stares at the pale glow,
Gazing from his bedroom window,
Wondering if she’s looking up at the same time,
So he wishes with all his being,
When his self-control is all but fleeing,
That the emotion travel and reach her with a sign.
And the moon gazes back quietly,
Tenderly,
Inspiring their imaginations for each night they are apart,
Fueling their burning and yearning,
Splendidly,
Heightening their expectations deeper into the heart.
I swear by the light of the moon,
This feeling ties me to you,
I pray
Think of me and feel me somewhere inside,
I bare my plight hoping that soon,
This reeling binds me to you,
I say
Sigh my name and I’ll come to you like the tide.

The author encourages honest critique.
I once loved somebody who lived a long way away from me, and I used to wonder if we were looking at the same moon at the same time.
I guess it stopped me feeling so terribly alone at the time.
The moon gets the attention of all the dreamers, their secrets and their wishes. She’s a truly magical creature.
Reading listed because the form is delightful, the language is lyrical, and the sentiment... well, I guess it choked me up a little thinking about old times and that’s all the emotional response I need to gauge a poem that will stay with me.
Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for that Missy. Us hopeless romantics sometimes find comfort in thoughts when the longing and aching is too much. I hope the memory of it made you smile. Thanks for the RL.
