Night and Day for Lens Artists Challenge

The first photo is one I took at sunset in La Manzanilla where for years I spent a month or two each year.  The poem is made to reflect the path of moonlight or sunlight on water.  This photo is going to be used for the back cover of my book soon to be published, “If I Were Water and You Were Air.”

For Lens Artists Challenge: Day & Night

Full Moon Indictment

Full Moon Indictment

The moon is just your implement, dismantling my defenses.
It rattles my conviction, plays havoc with my senses.
What is it in the moonlight that lowers my resistance?
It seems to  swell to its full power just at your insistence.

 

The prompt words today are tool, trickery, implement and moon. Here are the links:

Shine

Shine

Your smile is luminescent. It has no warmth behind it.
But for these long years with you I’ve come to barely mind it.
All day long I bask in the sunshine of another.
How can he be so different from one who is his brother?
Like the sun and moon are you, two different sorts of light.
Both bright enough to read by —one by day and one by night.
I recall the heat and passion and humor in his eyes,
as I lie with you in moonlight, waiting for the sun to rise. 

Luminescent is the prompt word today.
