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.

I found this very amusing, when I got up to the second stanza it blew my breath away. The imagery was fantastic, You have described a scene in my head of sand and pebbles at a beach, glowing moonlight and slowly creeping sunlight. You have described it so well, you have used a good choice of words. I also feel enlightened from this poem it has cheered up my day.

this was nice nice imagery. I longed to be in that peaceful tranquil place and the one dressed in black hmmm sounds like a dreamy guy. I like those kind of dreams. You know you have progressed greatly as a poet. I can really tell how much improvement you have made since the beginning when I first start reading your poems. fantastic work.
