These short poems were written in the span of a few hours while staring at a gorgeous full moon one September in Maine not too long ago . . .
Posted in celebration of our Winter Solstice full moon and eclipse. I remember watching a full lunar eclipse one winter in Taos, New Mexico . . . it was very cold outside, snow all around. but I was able to lie on the end of my bed in the little adobe casita and watch the moon get swallowed and then reappear . . . magical.
LOVE POEMS to THE MOON
five variations
1.
In the absence of my lover,
I invite the moon to bed.
She comes, trailing her shimmering skirt
through the bay. Our first kiss
illuminates the sky—
the love of night awakes.
2.
No sleep for me tonight, I'm making love with the moon!
We're crazy about each other can't you see?
Our bodies fill the night with an exquisite delight.
3.
Full moon I love you!
You fill my face with gentle light
like a lover's kiss: receptive and full.
Full moon I love you!
You fill my heart with mystery
like a lover unveiling: each time vulnerable and new.
Full moon I love you!
You fill my soul with a balanced sight
like a lover leading me: oh dark hours of life…
4.
I want to be
vulnerable with you,
but vulnerable like
this full moon is with the night—
utterly opening herself
with amorous light.
5.
I am always a being of divine light
(even in the darkest hours)
like this full moon shining over me
(and in me)
guiding precious night.
