Underneath a Moonlit Sky

UNDERNEATH A MOONLIT SKY
         
      Luminous lustrous Moonlit sky has spread starry tapestry above.
      We two underneath sitting on swing in our garden of dream.
      Gentle zephyr carrying strong sweet smell of jasmine our fav flavor.
      She puts her head on my shoulder, 
      pale Moonbeam playing on her golden hair.
                                 
      Platoon of floating cotton clouds trying to hide Moon time to time.
      Mesmeric mystic maroon Moon does not bother 
      but peeps to smile in own lunatic style.
      
       I am confused, also amused whom to gaze!
       To lucent Moon or to look in depth of her eyes. 
       Placid Moonbeam flashes on her charming eyelashes 
       and she blushes as I glance.
         
        I lifted her Moonlit face to press my lips 
         and love was sealed.
        Large gibbous Moon gave a ghostly wink 
         as the prime witness.
          
       Romantic aroma of Jasmine blended soon
       in shimmering sheen of silvery Moon.
       Pearly passion in fervent fashion
       neither reticent nor shy.
       We were flooded in glamorous amorous flow 
       underneath a Moonlit sky.
