Purple Moon

The power of love can be equated to the power of the moon's gravitational pull on earth, unstoppable.

  

Under the beautiful glow

Of this purple moon

I can see a future full of

Radiant love and tenderness.

 

Mesmerized by it’s magnetic passion

And raw poetic soul

I am blissfully pulled closer

With no desire to resist.

 

Even during lunar eclipses

And cloudy nights

The connection cannot be broken

To the moon’s devoted embrace.

 

Through gale force winds

And torrential downpours

The lunar light will always

Guide and protect me.

 

I in kind will faithfully

Cherish all the wonders

That the smiling face offers me

Not asking for a reflection in return.

 

From this day forth I will never hide

In shadows and holes

That her glow could never find.

Such a beautiful tribute to the moon.. it's been admired for thousands of years for it's mystic beauty.. it's spiritual power.. and provides solace to lonely souls and lovers alike.. I really loved the depth of this one.. You have such a way with words ... and in any weather this moon shall be there for you like that guardian angel hovering overhead lighting your way even when you pay it no attention. I also felt a sense of renewed passion through your ending.. as though you lost this great friend and found her again.. her light filling your soul with solace and life:

From this day forth I will never hide
In shadows and holes
That her glow could never find

Finding love in the elements we are lucky to have around us.. the moon is certainly a dependable and worthy love.. as well as the sun.. the water.. the air we breathe that flows with aromas.. the flowers.. trees.. everything we wake up to that surrounds us daily can be upheld in so many ways.. it will not fail us. I could keep going on that.. but will not.. lol.. really enjoyed the wisdom and strength that comes from this! =)

You are to purple what Nick Drake was to pink.

I wonder how many poems have been written about the moon, yet they never get old. This should be required reading for anyone who wants to write about the moon. Great Job!

I enjoyed reading these words of affection. The moon shows us many persona of it's self. I too am in awe of the purple face of the moon. Nice piece.

[MNeilsen]

This is a wonderful piece. I really like how it veered from a tribute to the moon to being more about not hiding from love.
