Moonlight Desert Dream

Darkness encompasses, encasing me;
Brilliant twinkling orbs scatter in the sky,
Peacefulness envelopes, now completely free.

Surroundings strange, different and new;
Gritty pebbles of sand under bare feet,
Absent vegetation, land without dew.

Rocky formations silhouette in the night;
Moonlight illuminating a quiet figure;
Sunglasses reflecting in the full moon's light.

Dressed completely in shocking black;
Smiling softly moving closer to him,
Reaching, touching hands gliding down his back.

Sunlight creeps upon a sleeping face;
dreaming surrendered to the new day,
Memories unforgotten, still in their place.

A very beautiful poem with a dream-like quality to it. I also liked the use of alliteration you use within the stanzas. I was a little confused with sunglasses and night but still a really nice phrase when you think about it. I like the way you create the scenes so nicely. Nice job.

A beautiful poem. The language and the story brought me in. I like the flow and the strong statements. A very good ending to a excellent poem. The morning light means we have a chance to do something good.

Really liked this poem. Really simple and very almost photogenic (meaning that it is like looking at a photo). You articulate well the evolution on the verses.
Liked this part "Surroundings strange, different and new;
Gritty pebbles of sand under bare feet,
Absent vegetation, land without dew."

Will keep reading. I would appreciate your input to...Thanks

OOOoo nice dark write. The sunglasses as night and black clothing give this guy a vampy feel. He sounds yummy. Your descriptive adjectives are right on the mark to drive this mystic sense of interest. Love it.

Because the night belongs to lovers, because the night belongs to lust..." is the song echoing on my head after reading this delightful piece... and if we can't be with them in person then in dreams is the next best thing.
