on this first night of the harvest moon
this evening when diana's resplendent orb
rests upon the backs of broken clouds
transfixed by the evening's brightest star
i wish for naught but for the time
to float upon the cooling breeze
that nightly sweeps along these shores
and ruffles white the ebbing tide
full round mysterious moonlight bay
i wish for dreamless summer nights
refreshing sips from the mother's breast
to quell within my burning heart
the many ethers that bubble there
the passion stirred by this day's journey
perhaps the chance to catch the breath
that surely escaped my heaving chest
when first i saw this sun-drenched beach
when first i trod upon its golden sand
Thank you for this beautiful image as I fall into slumber well crafted poem Thank you
And, thank you for reading and the kind comment. The wonderful thing about this life is that there are many Moonlight Bays.
A lovely poem written in poetic diction. You captured a beautiful picture of the beach at moonlight bay in summer time very well. A nice piece of poetry nicely put together. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
I'm not normally a fan of blank verse, chiefly because not many people can write it. Your poems are very readable and leave a very satisfactory taste in the heart and mouth. Very like a good meal. Bon appetit.
