Moonglow and Lavender

Shadows across the moon,

painted images with rose petals

dipped in moon glow and lavender.

An image fleeting from a corner eye...

Seductive pose for Luna's portrait.

 

                    Whispering nothing...

                    Gliding into your room...
                    Melting among the shadows...

                    A wraith in all but love's true view...

 

Fingers trace a lover's touch,

meandering memories of pure light.

Left long ago to wallow forever

with a gentle caress

on a thousand wings of paradise.

 

                    What the moonlight reveals,

                    vanishes with Apollo's rays.

                    Gone by dawn's true light...

                    as memories lure me away.

    I went to see MeatLoaf in concert last year, after all these years he could still rock the house. I could hear him sing this to a "heaven can wait" or "2 out of 3 ain't bad" type tune

      When MeatLoaf becomes my inspiration after so many months of not writing... sigh. I mean, I've been inspired by food before...

      This has always been one of my favorite songs... although my kids don't think too fondly of it.

      Thanks! I haven't been writing lately due to reality, but at times I get inspired and actually write something that I don't delete.
