The Night That The Moon Like A Red Flower Poem by Gert Strydom

The Night That The Moon Like A Red Flower



The night that the moon
like a red flower rose above our heads
you did kiss me the first time,

such a moon can do funny things to a person
as there and then I was smitten with you
and on the sea breeze I could smell gardenia.

That night your eyes did gleam
like stars
while bewitching the moon
did rise higher into the sky

and I wonder if ever again
I will look at such a moon?
