Moggy's Mutterings - 2. Moon Shadows

1.
I thought of you tonight.
The moonlight slipped through my window.
Shadows playing havoc with my eyes.
Reminding me of the times we spent together.
Where did you go? I must have lost you to the sunlight.
Where are you now? Questions in the moon shadows.
I missed you tonight. ~moggy

 

2.
I am old. I’m gray and dull in a sea of shining stars.
Once, I guided lovers. Now I’m a forgotten.
A place of broken pieces of a dream,
as you rush off to bigger and better things. ~moggy

 

3.
The moonlight shines a little less bright.
The wind blows a little colder.
Heaven seems so far and the darkness grows a little bolder.
I’m missing you tonight, but my life is sweetened
by the knowledge that I will see you again. ~moggy

 

4.
The moon hangs in the clear gray sky as trees fade into shadows.
Nights sounds creep into being. A mind drifts off into the past.
Memories of other moonlit nights flit through a mind.
Memories of sighs and slow dances. Of heat filled pleasures.
Keep a heart and soul alive to see another sunlit day. ~moggy

I see a man waiting for his lover, under the moonlight

He's not old or dull, he's a shining star, shining brighter and brighter as time flows by

I hope the one he's waiting for will soon come to him

and then they can dance through many moonlight nights :lol:

Hi Moggy, I know this is a collection, but somehow it reads like a lovely song with different verses to me. I am just looking on the moon through my window and here your song in my mind. Beautiful.

What is it about the moon and moonlight that evoke such powerful memories?   All of these are well done Moggy.  Great imagery. :hug:

we are 75 % water, the moon moves water and the dark, where the moon lives, hides our rawness. thanks

I see the moon in your collection of poems as a sliver of light and hope in the darkness of loneliness and the remembrance of past loves. I agree with @Lyssa that the poems, although separate, are woven together like a song.

When you don't plan it, and it naturally flows that way, that's quite an accomplishment.
