Moonlight And Moonshine
Moonshine spills like secrets, wild and raw
A firewater blaze that burns through the night,
Whispered promises hidden in the law,
Flickering shadows caught in outlaw flight.
Moonlight, soft and silent, cool as truth,
Bathes the world in silver, calm and clear,
A gentle touch that steals away our youth,
Unveiling dreams we hide from fear.
Moonshine stings reckless, fierce, untamed,
A rebel’s breath in glass confined,
Moonlight soothes silent, unashamed,
A quiet glow in the troubled mind.
One ignites the soul with reckless flare,
One wraps it close in tender care
Together they dance, a restless tune,
The wild burn of moonshine, the calm of moonlight’s bloom.
This is lovely. Your word choice is fantastic, paints a beautiful picture as you juxtapose moonshine and moonlight.
