About the Book
This book is a pilgrim’s journey engraved in its Word. Each poem is a remembrance of a moment, an instant of dream, of desire and at times of questioning. Moonlight Kiss is seeing life as suddenly everything has stopped, realizing that each moment is just a beginning…the best life experiences are yet to come! It is treasuring emotions to later offer them in poetry to others, as part of our collective soul. In this journey we are not alone. The writer promotes with her poetry and stories a better understanding of human existence and inner growth.
Moonlight Kiss approaches our humanity in spirit, soul and bodies. It attempts to find beauty in solitude, hope in the midst of uncertainty; to lift up physical love, knowing that such love can’t exist without that Divine Being: yes, God.
Inside each man and each woman there’s the profound desire for true intimacy with other human beings, the kind of intimacy where we accept our limitations and honor the qualities of our loved ones. This book honors those we love without losing our appreciation for our true self. It affirms the value of others without losing our individuality.
If you, my reader friend, through reading this book, realize that you know and love yourself a little better, and value love even more deeply, the purpose of this book will have been fulfilled.

Transformation
Waking to a rush of memories over my lips,
I find the dearest ones and those not written yet,
the whisper of your words awaken my lonely thoughts;
I become a mermaid's song over the ocean's waves.
You return inside my veins
closing desires within your dreams,
the salty taste of splashing sea
resting upon my breasts.
You are moving within me,
caressing my fears,
erasing each tear with every kiss.
I am your song now,
filling each moment, each wave with wonder,
transforming your arms into magical fins.
We are one with the ocean mystery.
Our love, a delicate memory upon the eternity of time,
becomes the fortress of our souls.
Oh my beloved,
how I want to stay in your arms forever.
May my desire become one in yours.
We are
loving each other completely,
owners of our destiny,
witnesses of our love.
Transformación
Despierto a un sonido de memorias sobre mis labios,
encuentro las más queridas y aquellas aún no escritas,
el susurro de tus palabras despertando mis pensamientos solitarios,
me convierto en la canción de una sirena sobre las olas del océano.
Tú regresas dentro de mis venas
te acercas a los deseos de tus sueños,
al sabor de sales de ese mar bravío
descansando sobre mis senos.
Tú te meces conmigo...
