Midnight's dark moon aflow on the waves
Innocence calling- "try to behave"
Silhouettes bond on beaches’ white sands
Walking embraced... hands gripping hands
Thoughts all together, a sameness festooned
Hearts raw and beating under this moon
Louder the silence of midnight forsakes
Two lover's passion... pushing their brakes
Each step of innocence comes a new dare
Caressing this mystery and pleasuring cares
Reaching for something , risking their ruin
Touching the rhythm of their own wrong-doing
Collapsing on sand dunes...legs weaving slow
Bathed in the moonlight's phosphorous glow
Body's heaving with each rushing wave
It's too late now as nothing behaves
Moisture is beading as energies fly
Arching to arches...moans meeting sighs
Thunderous lightening with no storm in sight
A dance with the devil in the pale moonlight.
Whew! A very visually vivid rendition! let me catch my breath. Wondeful write! I was raised on the caost and will always be partial to the beach, perhaps I relate to this more based on that.
Wow! The passion explodes from this one in a sensual delight that captures the mind and turns reader into voyeur as your images come to life. Excellant write dear Susan...excellant.

I love everything about this poem!!!!!
Did you see the moon last night? It was incredibly huge and brilliant.
It's called the Strawberry Moon, and the closest moon to the summer solstice...Tomorrow rings in the summer!!!
Glad to see you back, hope all is well with you and you are on the healthy path once more.
Peace, love, and light, my dear friend,

I love the moon. I love the line it's too late now as nothing behaves as well as thunderous lighting with no storm in sight. It reminds me of Shhh don't say a word.
Let's hear it for the devil here and now . . . Nobody . . . NOBODY can capture the beat of two hearts quite like my friend Susan . . . She is a wealth of emotions and she shares some of them with us to out great and pleasurable delight . . .
So vivid, so sensual, and so alive are your words in this, I can envision the scene, I especially like the last two lines, so true,
"A dance with the devil in the pale moonlight"
Full moon is now, and I just love to look up in the sky to view it. It is so nice to see that old moon and know it will be therefor me tomorrow and ever onward.
