Love Poem: Beneath the Moon

Beneath the Moon

Beneath the moon we share our lives
Upon benches, along the drives,
Like others have sat many times
Distant places, different climes,
For this is how a true love jives.

Couples hold hands and love survives
Exchanging stories while love thrives,
Listening to village church chimes
Beneath the moon.

A passing couple gives “high fives”
Playing music, the moon dives
Behind clouds, then it gently climbs,
I kiss her and think not a crime
To seal our love, our bliss-filled lives
Beneath the moon.
