A Pondering Moon

A little love poem for dreamers.

They met 

Where a pondering moon 

 Chased waves across the shoreline 

Two passionate souls that longed for this moment 

When eyes would gaze into the other's 

 Hands would touch for the very first time 

     And emotions would pour like a finely aged wine 

Words were not needed before lips met 

In an embrace they had waited so long for 

      So real........ 

           So overpowering as they clung to one another 

And they both knew 

As their bodies burned with a fire that had been ignited so long ago 

This night would not end 

                 With the setting of a pondering moon.

Lovely vignette of passion to come and romance. I love the setting and solitude of these lovers meeting at the ocean side. The beach is always so quiet at night with people far and few in between. It's so beautiful, that i've always pondered why more people do not take advantage of its intimacy. Lovely write Trace! jaycee

I'm not much of a romance genre person, but I felt the fire with this one! Very nicely done, and the graphic certainly doesn't hurt.

Wow, this ends and I want to know the rest of the story...I want to know if the fire will continue to burn and if they will end up walking into the sunset together. Words not needed? Not sure that is ever the case, but I can tell you that YOUR words are well written in this one, Trace. So romantic. It's great Julie's poem inspired you! Lydi**
