On a wild and beautiful night <br />beneath the lushness of the full moon <br />and the sparkle of a million stars <br />my lover and I sail across the water. <br />An adventure he calls it <br />he brushes his hand across my brow <br />intently staring into my eyes <br />as if to see my secret thoughts and desires <br />that i house behind my eyes. <br />And says he wants to give me the <br />moon and the stars. <br />As the sheets tautly trim the sails <br />we seem to fly through the sea silently. <br />We lie upon the deck content <br />to let the current take us where it may. <br />My lover lays across me and covers my lips with his <br />in an embrace as only lovers know. <br />With a low growl from deep in his throat <br />and a sigh from mine <br />he removes our clothes <br />and enters me with one quick thrust. <br />My body is ready with an ache that yearns <br />to be fullfilled. <br />Our bodies rock to the motion <br />of the music of the sea. <br />As our bodies peak together at the same time <br />and his essence fills mine <br />we cry out one another's name <br />not wanting to let go of the moment <br />we lie there in one another's arms <br />watched only in the night <br />by the moon and the stars.<br /><br />Pearl L Johns<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-moon-and-the-stars-2/
