Love Beneath the Moon and Stars
Stare up at the Moon and stars,
Which one’s Venus, which one’s Mars?
See the wonders of the sky,
Made for lovers, you and I.
Planets orbit around our Sun,
Unique traits in every one.
Just like those I see in you,
In everything, you say and do.
The heavens are a source of love,
Galaxies abound, above.
Our own is called The Milky Way,
My love for you it grows each day.
The earth has only one small moon,
It makes young lovers kiss and swoon.
Its influence is like a dart,
Shooting beams into the heart.
I pull you close and kiss your lips,
Embracing you in a lover’s grip.
Sweet desire burns in your eyes,
As from your lips escape soft sighs.
Invite me to your warm soft bed,
Tell me the thoughts inside your head.
Let our passions have their way,
And share our love ’til the break of day.

I just want to say ‘Thank You’. I am writing a Handfasting Ceremony and was on a hunt for a poem or reading related to Moon and Stars about a special kind of Love that takes your breath away. I hunted for hours. I even had to go hunting 3 different times but then…..I found your poem. I stopped and wept. I knew there was a poem that was just right and finally the Universe led me to this.
Thank you so much and credit with gladly be given. Bless U!
Thank you for reading this, Diana. I am glad this poem is what you were looking for. Please feel free to use it at the handfasting ceremony, and appreciate it if you give me credit.
