First Day's Night. Poem by Fay Slimm

Oh, unopposed silver ball of a moon,
cloudlessly hanging
in new year's roomy
nightsky, shine over highway and sea.
Glitter love's liquid message
which takes me
breathlessly, into the arms
of my dear love.
Bathe us this night with
your white moonglow above.

Dressed in shimmering
black velvet, background
Oversewn with shapely diamonds
twinkling all around
your palefaced core,
tell me, Oh gentle moon
like this time last year,
will your lovelight soon
grant us this,
will our first-night's
lunar rendevous become
fated to make us
a future where two will be one?
