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

Beautiful ode to the moon, Blue.

As you swim in the sea of clouds,
Sweep the world in solemn silence

Great imagery and alliteration here.

Alliteration is such an interesting thing. Thanks, Rita! :x

The Moon watches over broken hearts. I don't think she really cares, but she watches anyway.

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Haha. Yesss, Mark. Thanks for this! :x

A September moon all aglow in a sky of amethyst - what could be more romantic. Your poem is bittersweet and beautiful and has the romance I look for in classic poetry. Lovely my friend. :) Julie

Such a heartwarming review, Julie. Thanks a lot! :x

[Mittens]

This is definitely great but one line above all stands out when you read it; "As he lie on his bed (or hers)" is such a powerful part of this poem. Those are the kind of lines that really hammer home a point to a reader and give your work a life of their own. Thanks for the read request on this one; into the library it goes. :)

Ohh, Matt! That is sooo flattering! Thanks for dropping by to read my works and for giving me constructive and encouraging reviews! :x

This is very lovely, sadly romantic. The moon inspires beautiful and lonely thoughts in all of us, I think and you have a way of expressing those thoughts in a way that really speaks to and moves me. Wonderful, thank you for sharing.

BlueZan, thanks a lot for this! :x
