Beneath A Mango Moon Our Love Poem by Mark Heathcote

We came barefoot to the mountains

Weaving in and out;

Through the purple sleeping flowers

Outside the forest;

Like ancient beasts, we came to a clearing

With a hyacinth blue stream:

We came here together to declare!

Beneath a mango moon our love.

Our dream! Oh, our Dream

Oh turning to a wishing well diamonded in dew

We drank, till our fill

We drank till our abstinence became day,

And the day began groaning for the night

Oh turning to a mountain panther

We braved the mountain together

In animal bliss… we open night flowers

That you couldn't burn with light.

We bathed in a stream no matter how cold

Couldn't cool us beneath our mango moon our love

Our dream! Oh, our Dream

Oh, where we came together to declare

Beneath a mango moon our love.

Our dream! Oh, our dream.
