Moon Shots

in collaboration with Barleygirl

Moon Shots

Did I hear howling on the midnight breeze

your refrains harmonize with spirits almighty

a lithe arabesque backlit naked ebony trees

when Granny Moon donned her ruby nightie

swoops to the earth kissing grey tree tops 

spotlight of moon shards chasing their shadows

she gracefully crosses the street east to west .................... then stops.

Waiting to fill love's hearts bleeding fallow

A fond caress harvested from fingertips
your touch gliding beside her nightly glow
kinship undimmed by a fleeting eclipse
before her ocean plunge she lets it go.

too soon is gone the glorious sight

as mountain and tree tops reach up to hide

the fairest of moon's rare earthly delight

super and blue and blood together abide 

now i in repose and she without nightie

slip down deep sleep as daybreak begins

tucking earthen warm leaves round each tightly

kissing and kissing the cheeks of her grins.

Beautifully you both blended your thoughts and produced a masterpiece! The images you two created are absolutely brilliant. "Granny Moon donned her rubie nightie... ." in the beginning of the night's journey, and you let our imagination run wild with yours!

A marvelous collaboration between two talented and beloved poets. Probably the ying and yang of nightly anticipations and prowess of lit desires. Gradually we feel the crescendo of soft melodies that serenaded. Awesome.

[Einstein Noodle]

thanks for the appreciation Sami! Barleygirl is somethin' else says i! ;) had a wonderful time collaborating with her ... thanks again for spending time here my friend!
E.

[Sami Khalil]

She sure is. You are both welcome.

First off.. love the song, love the singer. Dad taught me/us how!

What a wonderfully creative and warm print of the recent beautiful moon you've set here. Can still see it when i close my eyes. You've gathered so many gentle references to the moon's fleeting lights or/and shadows, the wayit glides here and there, leaving a trail of sighs and thanks

You two collaborate so beautifully.. not a join in sight. I never select a favourete stanza when more than one has done the writing.. tis ALLl precious.

[Einstein Noodle]

Billy is one of the Greats for sure emma! :) coming from such a warm and romantic heart as you have i take that as high praise my friend ... thank you for spending time with us on our moon adventures ;)
