To Stop The Moon

And See Your Beauty Forever

I was watching โ€œA Knightโ€™s Taleโ€ last night, one of the wildest medieval films you will ever see, and Heath Ledger says about the girl he loves โ€œI would ask God to stop the moon, so that I could see the beauty in your face foreverโ€ which obviously made me think of my Muse, and could I write a poem based on that premise.

This led into the David Bowie โ€œGolden Yearsโ€ dance sequence.

๐Ÿ’œโค๏ธ๐Ÿ’œ

To see your beauty like this forever

I would take my time, try to stop the moon

To see your smile and hear you in the room

Lifts my spirits and makes my heart lighter

๐Ÿ’œโค๏ธ๐Ÿ’œ

To stop the moon and to be together

To share the moonlight and hold each other

To lay together and our kisses share

Holding hands , our love will be forever

๐Ÿ’œโค๏ธ๐Ÿ’œ

A minute with you makes clouds disappear

The sun will shine brightly like the love you give

The sun and the moon will wait as I adore

The time we are spending, heaven above

๐Ÿ’œโค๏ธ๐Ÿ’œ

Love you completely, forever no end

We stopped the Moon, We will have our heaven

๐Ÿ’œโค๏ธ๐Ÿ’œ
