Goddess of the Moon

My sentiments as I watched the moon one night.

Goddess of the moon

Reigning in the starless night

Where is the crown

That your mystic beauty demands?

As you swim in the sea of clouds,

Sweep the world in solemn silence

And overwhelm my senses in greyscale...

Goddess of the moon

In deadly shade of melancholy,

I pour out my sentiments to you.

Cast a spell on me, a poet

Enchant my fingertips

And move my heart and my pen

That my words may pierce a lover's soul...

Goddess of the moon

Watch over him tonight

As he lies on his bed (or hers).

Give him dreams of love

Or memories of me

That he will never forget

The scars that brought me here to you...

Goddess of the moon

Sole witness to my tears

Lull me to slumber.

And as I sleep my thoughts away,

I wish to wake up in your embrace...

Author's Note

This is the first time the goddess of the moon compelled me to write about her. I hope you enjoy reading this, as much as I enjoy watching her beauty. :x

Ah, this is really beautiful. I like poems about the Moon. Your poem inspire me to use your first line and some of your ideas to write this gift poem for your which you may keep as your own: It’s a tiny song:

Selene

Goddess of the Moon,
crescent lady of the night
blue and white stars strewn
all around your amber might
shall embrace you soon
crowning you with twinkling light.
Meteors shall swoon
nearby as they each ignite.

I think your version is way better than mine. ;) Thanks, Aethereal. You have a gift in words. :X

[Aethereal]

You're welcome!

[Sabrina Jade Howard]

Hmmmmm. Interesting... Very interesting...

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Thanks, Sabrina. Moon is always interesting. :x

I do believe there are a few in the words of Neko Case who 'wish [they] were the moon tonight. What a fabulous romantic write.

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Thanks, Plume. :x

This describes quite well the feeling that I have when I stare out into a moonlit night an quietly reflect. No matter how you call or name it, the moon has its own attractions for so many people. This poem is one that I think a great deal of readers could relate to, one way or the other. Nicely done.

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Sweet sentiments of yours. Glad you liked, Douglas. :x

[Simon Welsh]

Oh, I love that last line, you beautiful soul.

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Thanks, Elliot! :x

This was a wonderful poem to the Goddess. I feel it is how she would love everyone to talk to her...:)

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

How I wish she could talk back, though. ;) Thanks, Ron. Nice suit, anyway. :x

[ron]

But she can answer you if you listen to her song.

[Sue]

We both have poems inspired by the moon! Looks like we both had similar experiences :)

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Wow, that's cool. :) Glad she inspired you, too. :x

[shallimarRose]

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Thanks, Rose! :x

Great timing. We had a large orange harvest moon this evening. A wonderful tribute.

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Wow, that's something. Thank you so much! :x

I think you have a nice talk with Selene, the goddess of the moon. It's shown here that you are a compassionate person, knowing that you are asking the goddess to watch over someone special to you.

Thanks for this pensive concept, Blue.

BTW, I really love the moon in its full phase. I like the image used here. :)

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Haha. I had a nice talk with her but she's not talking back. LOL. Thanks, Dhaye. Credits to Google images. :x

You're welcome. Seems you're really enjoying your weekend. Have a nice day ahead, Blue.
