THE MOON GAZERS

First their eyes met, then they danced, and then decades of moon phases (and poems by their daughter) later...


Two rabbits sat upon a hill,
one blinked sleepily,
the night was so still.

Suddenly the moon
peeked out between the clouds,
and the moon gazers, entranced,
counted out the stars.

There bounds Pegasus
and Pleiades, the beauty,
there Cassiopeia, Aries and Venus -

And here, bound to earth,
you and I, my dearest.

What more than love and blue skies?
What more than love, my dearest.



Happy Anniversary my beloved Perveen and Chotu xxxx

(poem included in dverse poets open link night)
