moon
sonnet
i swear your eyes look down at naught but me
stunned by the charms of one who steals my breath,
while here, i tremble in the earth beneath,
to make, one day, her love my legacy.
tho you eavesdrop upon my wooing tongue,
you bear me witness that propriety
has not been wounded by glib liberty
—soon would i on her lips imprint my song,
were i to leverage every suave allure!
illuminate the middle of my plight,
if you would be the flame that sets me right,
when in lusthaste i fumble, too cocksure.
fell lunacy on my charisma falls,
should i rescind the moon’s sane protocols.

That is the most sweetest serenade in regards to the moon I've had the pleasure to read in quite a while my poet... it's soft, seductive, enchanting, and alluring, simply amazing in its brevity.. This is SweetKittyCat5 and I approve of this message...🐾🐾

Wow, this is so sweet -- almost like a KittyCat five times repeated!
Thank you, SKC5, for endorsing my moon serenade message. In the absence of politics, it is bound to win the popular, if not the electoral, vote under your perceptive guidance.
Your R/L wow is icing on the cake.

The Moon is a fickle maiden belonging to none, unfortunately. I really enjoyed the essence of this, Cab. Moongazing should be on everyone's to-do list.

You bring another perspective to the contemplation of the moon, Ahavati: making moon observation a pastime would certainly be a new aperture into the treasury of the hidden cosmos.
Thank you for visiting the page and for visiting your kindness upon the effort. Most of all, I appreciate the R/L inlusion.

Really beautiful cab, I agree with SKC completely this is soft, seductive, enchanting, and alluring. So romantic and such a creative expression of love and longing. The moon is such a beautiful focal point. I love the night and moonlight. The visual is gorgeous as always.
O Kris, you are so generous!
And yet I know you are sincere. Thank you for connecting so well with the thoughts I try to express. I must tell you, you are an individual who sees with "seeing" eyes; that is why you easily "solve" the poem, as one might say.
I know you love the concept of night, when all the world seems to come to a slower pace. Beneath all of that, I am aware that the darker shades of night do not blind you to what virtue there is in the supposed stillness, because nightlife has its own energy, its own busy-ness, and its own soul.
Thanks for the R/L honour.
Very best wishes.
