As I sit and watch the full moon
In the darkened Midnight sky
I see a great love come over my heart
As it beats upon my life
Those great moon beams of light
I look into that Midnight sky
I see my love's heart
Reaching into that Midnight sky
The clouds roll into the darkness
But the Moon shines
Across that Midnight sky
Reflecting it's brightness
Upon the water
Just as it reflects from my heart
Reaching out to my love
In that Midnight sky
Oh, how I yearn to know
If my love sees that Midnight sky
As I do in my heart!
I sit here alone looking
Into that Midnight sky
Dreaming of my love from far away
As the Moon beams reflect
The radiance of it's grand light
So does my heart reflect
It's love into that Midnight Sky
Many nights I sit alone
Dreaming of a love
In that Midnight Sky alone
But on this special night
I see my love reflect
Across the water to my love
As I continue dreaming
Into that Midnight Sky...

The world around me, conspires;
and I wonder, why is it I think of you?

The moon,
wide eyed, watching
plumbs my depths
matched only by your piercing stare.

The night,
so velvety soft
envelopes me
the way your arms once dared.

The water,
wistfully washes ashore
singing psalms,
sweet lullabies echoing your words.

The night,
whispers secrets
taunting me
by waking memories of the one I miss.

The moon,
so warm and glowing
kisses me
but pales, when compared to your lips.

The world around me, conspires;
and I wonder, why is it you that I miss?

refraction's through a blue filter
reflections on a mirror smooth loch
midnight sun, flaming cold
the raging sea beyond the rock

shades of blue, light to midnight
steel and cadet of the clouds
navy of the sky and waters
dark midnight of the landed shroud

the lone sentinel at the break
lights now defunct and silent
mariners, proceed at your own risk
your beam of danger, back off, absent

the frigid, icy world of blue
I'll take the soft yellow of pooh

Reflections of light and life
On one side the real world
On the other dreams, hopes, aspirations
Mingle to confound and confuse

The physical world as it exists
Mirrored in the mind of possibilities
Subtle alterations of the imagination
Paint a picture of what ifs and why nots

Ideas like the light dance on the water
Waves of worry reduced to ripples
Bright colors soften to paler hues
Sharp edges of rocks rounded and smoothed

Truth obscured by encroaching clouds
Blurs the physical and mental vision
Turned over and over endlessly
Which now is real which is the reflection

Things once important now trivial
Prized possessions - worthless, meaningless
Revelations for mind, body and soul revealed
Reflected in light and life
Riverrun_7©

Night falls swiftly. Unsuspecting souls,
Trapped in shadows, lost in woes,
Stumble endlessly in the pitch black night.
Clouds conceal the dim twilight.

Cloaked in obscurity if seen at all
The bright path's now a dark pitfall.
Shadows deepening fill the heart with pain,
Anger, guilt, fear, doubt, shame.

Past guilt enviously turns to hate,
Which feeds itself 'til it's too late.
Blind and crying for a way to go,
But ashamed to leave the dark shadow.

Fearing constantly both the day and night,
Doubt with dark, but truth with light.
For shame surely in the light's found out,
A hopeless cry;" Is there no way out?"

Wind gently parting the clouds with love,
Offers hope if we look above.
Sudden clarity, viewed in sharp detail,
Causes doubt and fear to fail.

Silent symmetry of reflected light,
Splits in two the darkest night.

Strolling along the sandy shore
moonbeams shining bright
fingers intertwined
yet something wasn't right.

As you put your arms around me
I tried to mask the tears
your voice smooth and confident
trying to calm my fears.

...I have to leave you darling
it's the way it has to be
my past is still unsettled
you can't fall in love with me...

... Each time I see the moonbeams
reflecting the midnight hue
I'll hold my pillow in my arms
and wish that it was you...

One last kiss, then he walked away
left me standing alone on the shore
a rush of heaviness filled my chest
and I yearned for his touch once more.

Finding a place among the rocks
staring into the moonlit sky
watching him walk in the distance
and trying not to cry.

Resting my head upon my knees
to shield the light of the moon
tasting a tear as I whispered
baby, come back to me soon.

The scene above has dripped
down to the land below
reflecting---
two moons, basting in a sky
of blues, blacks and purples
I stand in the middle
caught in the dimensions
I look out to the sea
the cold salt water swirling up to my feet
keeping me within the realm of reality
C0ast©

Soft footsteps, barefoot,
On the virgin sand.
There you stood
Awaiting the fullness of the tide,
Seeing the reflection of it
In the weight of your heart.
The moon went unnoticed
Through the haze of your sadness.
As hours passed in eternity
You walked into the water,
Cradling yourself in oblivion.
The waters carried you to a place
Where all made sense.
Your salt tears mingling
With oceans eternity.
Hayzee©

I see you there,
Beneath the mirrored moon.
In that place where earth
Does fool the eye,
Becoming sky's
Hand-held path.

Do I follow in your steps,
As disappear you do?
In distance I hear your
Calling chant
Beckoning to me
With each chilling whisper.

What is beyond
that sky met slope,
neither of us knows.
But moons above
And moons below
Light well our beckoned entry.
ALadysHeart©

I see for miles the beauty
of the skies and the water
blending with the land.

I sense the depth of this creation
awed with the reality of the birth
of our world.

I feel intensely the strength
of the universe and my own weaknesses.

I wonder if I will ever understand
the source of the gift.

I think that everyday could be
the end of life for me.

I remember the man in the moon
when I was a child.

I love to watch the sunrise and sunsets
for they calm my soul.
_DiamondBack©

The beach is empty
my heart is alone

I haven't a love
to call my own

The moon in the heaven
hangs silvery low

My senses tingle
with a searing glow

When will he come
to look for me

Or shall I be searching
through all eternity.
Pixierose©

My two worlds meet
At the crashing of waves,
The air about me and the water below,
Both of them harboring
The life which nurtures me,
Breathing deeply--
My lungs fill with the sweet sea air,
I take another breath,
To explore the world below.
Cool sea air, cold night water,
You hide the reality
Of that life hiding within you,
Reflecting the bright and blissful moon,
Bring to me your feelings of content.

Revealed, through this glimpse.
Reflected, above and below
Capturing the vast expanse;
Echoing the depths inside.
Time simply standing still...
Spirit soars, leaving me
Reveling in the dancing waters,
Rippling throughout this moonlit night.

(A Dream or Virtual Reality...?)
A lone figure stood in silent reverie at waters edge,
On an evening such as this
Not many moons ago and gazed, with watery eyes,
Across that vast expanse of brine
Which divides New World from Old...

On that late summers eve.
When full moon did in silhouette sit,
Against a backdrop of midnight blue,
Amid bright stars that sparkled like diamonds
Scattered on a jewelers cloth of silk velvet...

Recalling how, enveloped in sadness,
She waited in that lonely place called Hope,
And dreamed dreams as only lovers do.
Oh foolish heart 'tis a fool who seeks love,
And still pursues that dream of 'what might have been'...
Galadhriel©

Wrapped within the stately serenity
of her exalted position
she traverses the sky
on paths of wistful blue wisdom
to bathe the world in her silvered solitude.

And the clouds like voices
of long cloistered seraphim
sing praises of her beauty and her light.
She is the goddess of the night,
and she walks in veiled solemnity
and speaks the mirrored language of love.

But the moon in the water,
oh, the moon in the water
is laughing in casted crystal notes
that spread across the surface
in a million tiny twinkles
that ride the crest of every ripple
and fall with helpless glee upon the sand.

And tonight as I kneel
upon this shifting silvered shore
I will lay bare this weighted shadow
of a soul, and allow the goddess
of the sky to fill me with her wisdom
and create anew my spirit with her light.

Then will my spirit join in rushing ecstasy of joy
the moon that frolics deep within the waves.
And I will fill my heart with laughter
and dance my wanton dance
upon the ripples in the oceans of my life.
Phantom©

The night is filled with silver mist
that veils a blue black sea
the full moon flies in cloudy skies
as lonesome as can be.

The misty clouds fulfill the sky
all choked with misery
and gives its life in falling rain
as lonesome as can be.

The river meets its lonely death
to mingle with the sea
no one to weep, no one to cry
as lonesome as can be.

The mighty sweeping ocean waves
that build contemptuously
die in the doldrums flat decline
as lonesome as can be.

I watch the moon drift through the clouds
above a rolling sea
and hear the river rushing by
as lonesome as can be.
Sir_Sun©

Silver moon cast your spell on me
send a beacon of light
across the midnight sea.

For he who walks another shore
might catch the beam
that I implore.

And know the depth of vast elation
his sensitivity imparts
upon relation.

Kindred spirits sharing the same moon
on all levels
tune for tune.

In the ocean breeze I stand alone
until we meet
this earth I roam.
Emerald©

I could share my imagination between my thoughts of
this view. It's been three hundred years, sense I out
lived those that I knew. This atmosphere is one that I
choose to keep. I allow the darkness to comfort me
away from sleep. I await this balance of the day
because it is my birthday.
Cluewall©

I greet thee, lonely friend,
Rise and brighten yet another night,
Till again in timeless journey must descend
Your battered face and soothing light.
You've heard the silence within my inner thought,
Have seen my eyes in triumph and despair,
Have felt the pleasures love once brought
But, you know not when I'll go, nor where.
You know of my dreams which far I left behind,
They were but seeds of passion I did sow,
Small remnants, yearning for my soul to find
Where love, once past, again can grow.
To walk in your light's shores in hope of paradise
I now dare the secret of your gleam to learn,
To find the truth in lying eyes,...
For once my kiss is blown for naught,
Unlike you, it never will return.
Zephyr©

As the moon shines
Reflects softly off the water
Its' gentle light glows
Bringing light to the clouds

As does your eyes shine
Reflections of your soul
A soft loving glow
A light shining with your love

As the darkness falls
The moon lights the night
Sending shafts of light
Deep within the dark shadows

When my heart
Was lost and full of darkness
You gave to me your love
Your light showed me the way

As the moon lights the night
Your love lights my heart
Together our happiness will shine
Chasing all the shadows away

through ominous dark clouds
a beam shines with its own splendor
lending light to a dreary night
mirroring its reflection

a constant moon
lends its light
knowing all is well
with its kiss goodnight

I stood at the bank of a river of tears
and watched as life flowed by
I saw ghostly galleons sailing
as wisps on a gunmetal sky
Moon's bright unblinking eye
kept vigil on the night
and cast on the crystal waters below
a path of gleaming white

Through the purple darkness
I heard a whisper say,
"It's just a dream you witness,
gone with the light of day"
But dreamers can't seem to understand
the magic realm of dreams
So stop the dream, no dreamer can
nor desires to it seems

Confused, I watched with wonder
from where the river flows
and what the vision meant to me
What meaning had the things it chose
Deep into the water
I desperately tried to see
To find life's hidden source
And what it meant to me
But all that I could find
In the swirling waters there
A reflection of my troubled mind
and eyes in a frightened stare

Strained by the vision in life's well
My fragile sanity broke
And into the river I suddenly fell
Mind's fire I tried to soak
Back in my quiet chamber
I suddenly awoke

By dawn's early gentle light
settled my mind became
My eyes opened to regain their sight
the vision of darkness was tame
Inside me I felt no change
But I'll never be the same
Since I saw mind's flow derange
When a mad man I became
Warrior_Poet©

Feet firmly on the shoreline
Observer of the tides
Wond'ring if I can divine
The place where my Self hides

Behind me mountains pierce the sky
Before me waters fall
To ocean's depths ... And here am I
In the middle of it all

My eyes seek God in the dark of day
My heart seeks deep within
The helix of my DNA
In search of cosmic kin

I seek my Place outside my flesh
As well, within its wall
Yet still I find my Self enmeshed
In the middle of it all

Egocentric ... That's the term
I can not seem to flee
Above the moon or beneath the germ
My center is still ME

I guess the best I'll ever hope
Is YOUR answer to MY call
And WE might join in Love to cope
In the middle of it all
Weaver©

I want you to splash on me, beauty
I am just a body, you keep me
lucky, like you've made me
I'll go crazy, as you met me
..oh, I want you to get me,
so high, like you've promised, this night,
I'm gonna verge on the sky.
Ask for another star to fall
I wish I'll never be found.
Ask for another star to fall
I wanna touch no ground.
Carry me airy in this shore
I wanna end with the horizon
moons edging the place I sit
I am just a part of everything.
Ask for another star to fall
I'll make a wish for everyone.
__Forbidden_©

Upon the drifting wind blowing high,
The luminous moon rises into the sky.

The colors of purples, pinks and blues,
Stir in the sky as if to mix their hues.

Electrical flashes of blinding light,
Natures charge to the sky equally bright.

Animals skitter to drier ground
As the drops of rain come pelting down.

The petals of flowers yawn awake and drink hungrily
They gladly accept the gift of love naturally.

Mother Nature in her imminent grace,
Feeding nature earth and growing a beautiful place.
Queen.Amethyst©

Under cover of the light of the moon
I am drawn into the darkness of my emotion
Along its corridors of bleakness I travel
Stumbling the worn path of my desperation
Dreading the answers I'm seeking
Feigned indifference my only solace
Knowing my journey is endless
Until brightness locked within can be found
Adrift and weary on a sea of solitude
Clutching at the shores of enlightenment
Yearning for no one but me

Can you see it?
The circle 'round the moon
The uniqueness of it all
May be forgotten soon
For as the reflection falls
Upon the waters down below
The circle that surrounds it
Joins with the water's flow
It blends into the landscape
Its uniqueness no longer seen
It becomes just one of many
But to those whose eyes are keen
They can see the difference
Looking always to the source
See the image without reflection
Truth, the driving force
Shadow Whysper©

Hypnotically transfixed on twin, shiny sapphires
Wet with salted tears
Like tide pools of a briny, blue ocean
I am drawn deeper inside the looking glass
Searching my own depths for answers

In a moment of reflection I see myself
Standing on an isolated isthmus
At the center of my own being
A powerful undertow dangerously lapping at my feet
Teasingly playing with my mortality
The distant warmth of China Cove memories
Are all but forgotten in the grainy sands of time
As I fight against unnatural tidal forces

While surrounded by the jagged cliffs of a rough life
I peer out at the great expanse of ocean before me
And wonder if I shall be swept away in rip tides never to surface again
Or will I forever remain a lonely mariner upon Life's seas
The tearful cries of seagulls voice my inner sadness
As they continue in their daily flights
Searching for that which sustains them

Although I find myself adrift in an endless sea of confusion
Without aid of compass, mate, nor lighthouse beam
To shine upon my drowning face, swimming in tears
The shimmering stars against the indigo night, and
The glimmering light of a full, sympathetic moon
Cast stardust and moonbeams of mercy upon me
Shooting stars rocket across the sky on occasion
Offering me brief moments of joy and comfort, and perhaps even hope
That I am not alone in this moody blue world of mine
There may indeed be a Divine plan and purpose for my life

I shall continue in my daily flights
Searching for that which sustains me
Searching for purpose and meaning
I will keep my eyes focused though
On the nurturing stars above me
As I wander this dangerous stretch of beach
Beneath the Celestial Sapphire Blue
Romantic_at_Heart©

At the boundary of darkness where day meets night
Stands the gateway to the visions of dreams sight
Slumber the key for this portal to the dream plain
Yet an inverted reflection of realities bitter game
Like the touch of silken darkness upon the skin
One must forego consciousness if one wishes to go in
Your feelings are forfeited, emotions a game played
Just to set foot upon this place where dreams are made
Here vision or nightmare is played out before your eyes
Guidance or deception it is to you to find the lies
Bear1Mage©

Your words come to me
as if upon
a warm summers wind,
wrapping themselves
around my soul;
whispering to me
that time and distance
are of no consequence,
for we have been together
for a thousand years.

Is the light of this moon
to resemble
your existence here;
tumbling through my dreams,
rolling through the heavens,
with the night as your lover;
no one particular side to view,
but all to be seen
at once.

It has been you;
who has influenced
the rising and falling
of the tides;
and given fragrance
to the sweet night air.
It is you that guided
me here to these shores
to find love
once again.
Whispered Enigma©

Dark night... cold with fear
Showered by fright
Lonely eyes peer through blackness
Darkness holds with little fight

Blue sky's? -- Oh look again these eyes
Opaque clouds absorb the lies
The Son lights the moon this night
But so far... so far from Him am I

These mountains? -- At my feet lies peace, a fountain
Step in? -- I may... to mend my hearts fray

But you... oh You
All I ever wanted to be and do
I find in you...
The light, for every night
Surpassing the darkness in truth and sight

But my eyes, these sky's, the lies, disguise
Defies my will... so I am as the night
Dark night... cold with fear
Showered by fright
-HeartsCry©

I can only watch
you set the clouds alight,
and throw a bridge
across the deep still water
to which is called my soul.

Is this of you that I see for real?
You are far beyond my touch
in both your high and low incarnations, and
I cannot tell with any sense but untried reason,
whether you are merely remote or an illusion.
grinx©

Miss Radiant Moon
Reflected in the water
Of my earthly mind.
Following me at a distance
Always there,
Always illusive.
Will you join me
For a swim?
Let me surround
Your halo'd head
With my hands
And help you down
To earth's warm waters,
Baptize you in clear liquid nectar
And wash your dusty face
From traveling so far
And for so long.
Let me wash you clean.
Let me hold you close
And in time
Fill you with a new volcano.
Let me heat your core
Until again you become
The Eden of our youth.
Then I will release you again,
To float like an island
In a big smiling circle
Home again and again
And again
And
Again.
Forever.
