naked in the moonlight




when all was said and done,
She stood alone
naked in the moonlight

above the jagged cliffs
watching the crashing water
wash away her soul

her naked form
a silhouette across the moon
for hounds to call
 
her lover from below
seemed to rise again
and beckon her
 
to remember
all that they
had been
 
 and begged of her
to join him
when all was said and done

  2. What sensuous words are "Naked in the moonlight" and what images the whole poem evoked moving from real to dreamlike state.

  4. Ohhh...dark overtones there. Or am I over analysing? Certainly sensuous.
