you're such a poet
By FadedBlues
if you make
love in the moonlight
you have only made love in the moonlight
you have not written the great romance novel
you have not composed
the poem that would
shame the sonnets of Shakespeare
or
painted your dreams across the sky dome
of the Sistine, in the faces
of gods & angels
you have not transported the vessel of your
travesties to
a utopian fantasy adorned with
marshmallow bells & winged unicorns
you are still here
in the place where you made love
if you make love in the moonlight
I won't look to the sky for a
blazing star that
will lead me to the manger of a remarkable idea
I won't expect the bountiful harvest that will feed all
the hungry
children in the border towns of Purgatory
or the magic potion
that
will heal the sick, penitents of Lourdes
...I will wonder why
it isn't with me
if you make love in the moonlight

Beautiful, nice twisty sentiment. Is the writer the sunlight? And she makes love in the moon...but for nothing. Interesting.

Painfully true, such a simple act that becomes not so simple. Emotions run deep when people feel each other, the dim illumination of the moonlight is a perfect setting. Thanks once again sir for the 'movement' - XXOO

Thanks, Friends. the act of making love is a beauty among common things, but to lovers, it's the interlude that becomes a poem...

Making love in the moonlight is making love in the Sun's reflection bent and distorted by the moon.Writing poetry is a bent distortion of thought reflected by the poet.

I usually go for the dark of the moon if she's really a bow-wow (HA!). Seriously, this had me guessing up until the ending, superbly sentimental and asks a great, time worn question, thanks pal.
