Your Loving Moon
~~~
Eons are scarred across my face
You the beauty to my beast
Orbiting around your treasured space
So, on you my eyes may feast
~~~
Never able to turn and look away
My stare frozen by the energy
And as each night breaks to day
You pull at me constantly
~~~
Often feeling unnoticed
As I fade in other’s bright light
Wondering if I would be missed
If absent just for one night
~~~
We are bound in celestial dance
You spinning like graceful ballerina
Me stuck as if in a trance
With this dusty reflective patina
~~~
You a myriad of vivid colors
Me just this grey and ashen hue
I always feel just a bit duller
Stuck here next to beautiful you
~~~
But without you where would I be
Flung off into the great void
A lonely travelling destiny
If your gravity is unemployed
~~~
Pulling on you so tentatively
You can hardly feel my hand
Save the rising of your vast sea
Wetting your dried tidal land
~~~
Oh, that I could show you my worth
And that we could be as one soon
For you will always be my earth
And I, forever, your loving moon
~~~

[…] Your Loving Moon […]
So romantic and wistful
Aww! Thanks Beth! I appreciate you and all your support!
what a wonderful tribute to the moon. I never thought of how the moon always plays second fiddle to the sun. it can’t be easy…
It is like going on stage AFTER Bruce Springsteen….
great analogy…
I think it’s the sun that’s taken for granted. The moon is looked to with excitement and splendor. It seems like the ideal time to be romantic. “Under the light of a silvery moon.”
Good point, Pete! The moon certainly gets to see a lot of things going on down here….😁
A lovely tribute to my favourite celestial entity, our brilliant shining moon!
Thanks Francisco!
My pleasure my friend!
This is so romantic, Brad! *Swoon*
Thanks beautiful!
No one writes love like you ❤️🖤
Aww, thank you little one!
Brad I love this piece. So romantic and expressed so incredibly visually.
“We are bound in celestial dance

Every stanza is lovely but this is my favorite. Perhaps because when I was little I dreamt of being a ballerina and still dance when I am alone and feeling very happy. “In my own little world!” Sending you more beautiful words to encourage these lovely romantic pieces. Love Jonikins xoxoxoxxo
