The Moon’s Daughter

\nHer silver smile still hanging in the sky,
\nIgnites your face and sets my heart aflame.
\nResponding to sweet Cupid’s ancient game,
\nYour arms are bold and yet your eyes are shy.
\nWith gentle words you push aside my try
\nYet I hear “yes” each time you breathe my name.
\nThat smiling Moon must know she owns the blame;
\nShe’s taught you how to tell a lover’s lie.<\/p>\n
Reluctantly I start to turn aside
\nBut you relent and lead me to your heart,
\nWith kisses strewn to help me on the way.
\nThe Moon reveals a truth the sun can hide,
\nThat subtle stops are perfect for a start,
\nAnd we will stay together until day.<\/p>\n
