Moonlight Dance

So full of promise,
Right from first glance,
The casting of shadows,
That made the moonlight dance,

An evening of balmy tropic breeze,
And a thunderous dark sky,
No words need spoken,
It would not be the last good-bye

Only our hearts to guide us,
Separate lives divided by the sea,
The deepest part of our souls remain open,
Never faded by degrees,

A gift that was given that night,
From up above the clouds,
Having never felt this way,
Always surrounded by crowds,

The distance has been overcome,
Standing tall without measure or fear,
On this path we've chosen,
This sunset horizon looks all so clear.

Hey, I think you need more encouragement and exposure here. You're not shy to read and review? I pick at least one new writer to read every day and try to read the poems from several of my friends and review as well. They will read your stuff in turn, and you will get as much advice and stimulation as we poets sometimes require. lol. Maybe one out there had the perfect advice for you! :):):)

[Paul]

Great idea you have. I think I will try that as well :)

Great imagery and synesthesia here. I especially liked the second stanza with the "balmy tropic breeze". The poem is relatable for anyone who has been in a long distance relationship, and it is beautifully written.

Thank you for your kind words. I look forward to reading some of your poetry as well.
