Selene's River (Formerly "Moon River")

I wont sit and wait
I wont dance and sing you to sleep
I wont worry when I close my eyes tonight
 
When I run to the river
Clothes stripped as I stride
When I run to the river
Your body right by my side
When I jump in
Cool calming Moon River…
Wash me away

I wont worry any more
Two million suns and stars, what are they shining for?
They all shine for you
Watch what that moonlight does to you…

When I jump in the water
So naked and free
When I splash in the water
Your eyes holding me
When I pull you close
Drift in the open river
You’re so tempting and desired…
Cool calming Moon River…
Wash me away

Your fingers to my lips
My hands on your hips
Just hold me in this way
Float on down the glistening current
Moon river wash our tears away…

Moon River is a bad title

There can be plagerism here as Moon River (caps) is in the poem body. http://www.reelclassics.com/Movies/Tiffanys/moonriver-lyrics.htm Mark "some things change, some things don't"

well thankyou for reading

well thankyou for reading it, i appreciate your time, weirdelf had mentioned the title would draw it away because of the song, to be honest i have never heard of that song. the title came from a dream, swimming in a river that glistened with moonlight. -with what love could be- WT

Selene River

WT I too have a few times just let free and wade into that inviting stream so irrisitable as it temps me "go on - go on" I am impulsive and no inhabitions just love to be so free in body mind and soul. Tears will flow as the currant below stars above fill my heart but would be so much better to be able to share it with someone. Vivid sensual Mmmmmmmmmm Electric blue
