I am trying to find a poem that contains the line "Will you dance on
the moon with me?" or something close to that. I searched on the exact
phrase "dance on the moon with me" and got no matches. Can you find
this poem and return the full text? Thanks. Mark

Hi there Sully,
I thought I recognized the phrase.  I've checked some poem databases
as well as some offline collections of love poems at the university
library and this is what I found:
Please note that there are some poems on the net that have similar
phrases but they seem to be nothing more than simply personal poems by
various individuals.  The following poem is a more "known" poem; the
credit says Anonymous.

Title:  Will You Dance With Me?

Will you dance with me
underneath the moon
with the stars twinkling
and the darkness engulfing us?

Will you dance with me
in the midst of silence
feeling each others heartbeat
to the rhythm that is our love?

Will you dance with me
in the unity that fills the emptiness
overwhelming the world
as we kiss the perfect kiss?

Will you dance with me
naked before the world
clad in nothing but our love
showing we have nothing to hide?

Will you dance with me
to keep the fires a-burning,
keeping away the cold of the world,
making it warmer and better?

Will you dance with me
as our children grow up around us?
And as we are old and gray
I shall ask again my love:
Will you dance with me?


Thank you for your question,
Tox-ga

Hi there Sully79!

I have sent out emails and left messages to various connections
(literature professors, poets, etc).
While I await their reply, could you tell me if there's anything else
that you remember about the poem? (anything at all).  For example, is
there any indicator (another word/phrase or theme perhaps) that you're
looking for?

Best regards,
Tox-ga

Thanks for the continued efforts. Again, none of these is it. I'm
pretty sure that it has the exact phrase, or very close to it, "Will
you dance on the moon with me?" It has been many years so I could be
off a bit, but I know it's close. Thanks again.

Just to let you know, I have sent out several more inquiries and am
expecting a reply shortly.

Thank you for your patience,

Here are excerpts from some possibilities, I'm sure there are more...


Eyes To See

With my eyes wide open
today I see clearly.
With my eyes wide open
I have courage to pursue my heart’s desires.
O my heart...
O my heart...
Divine will lend me strength to carry on.
Destiny, light my path to bliss.
Surrender- my soul belongs to the cosmos.
Shooting stars ignite my passion.
Gravity draw my lover to my side.
Grace, may we dance on the moon.
Forever our love embraces us-
Radiating outward
Brilliant as the sun.
Twin flame melt with me now.

just you and me and Orion's Sword 
for company; and I think you said that 
one day we'd dance on the moon together, 
like Michael Jackson only with less makeup

The Universe will be our home
and the cosmos galaxies together we'll roam.
While the celestial symphony performs a nebulas tune.
We will tip toe across the stars to dance on the moon.

To a perfect combination, once this passion is unleashed
Golden Angel, precious Princess and since
This is more than just lust, trust if not now, then soon
One love, we'll have our chance to dance on the moon

We can dance on the moon
and I will see you soon
Whereever you walk
I am at your side

I play the flute
in a greek restaurant
eating a cow by myself
but you are at my site
and listen to the tunes

The dance sadly ended, 
It should have been years. 
We clung just a moment, 
I whispered through tears, 

"I don't know when 
I'll see you again, 
But do come back soon-- 
We'll dance on the moon."

Dance on the moon
Enter the rings
Newly freed souls
Newly freed bird

Gracious and humming
Some atonic verse
Invisible in their flight
http://www.darklyrics.com/lyrics/tristitia/onewithdarkness.html

Wandering here ... wandering there ...
Over land and sea ... over land and sea ... 
Lost, alone am I ... How can I say goodbye?
Comfort here ... anguish there ... 
Where's my love? Up above, he's with God ...
I'm coming soon ... We'll dance on the moon ...
