Flirting With the Moon

Flirting With the Moon
A reply, a thank you.

Oh, come here moon,
Let me sit beneath you,
That your sparks might fly,
Though you are usually still and quiet.

That drum, my heart, so fast,
Deep within your circulation,
Like my finger stirring a pool of water,
Never still, never quiet.

Looking through you,
My eyes past yours, and you,
Feeling gloriously naked in my watch,
Waiting still, waiting quietly.

ampoule, May Twentieth, TwoThousandNine

I think the images in this are amazing, in particular


Like my finger stirring a pool of water,
Never still, never quiet.


I like the way you used the final lines of each stanza. Wonderful poem, Amp.

That was a lovely poem to read, thank you

[PrinceMyshkin]

Lovely! I wouldn't have used "flirting" in the title inasmuch as that, to me, always implies something transient, playful, not necessarily sincere.

Beautiful, thoughtful...lovely images

[Helga]

very nice, I loved the title too it drew me in...

A good example of the power of simple, direct language, a la Langston Hughes.

that drum, my heart, so fast,
Deep within your circulation,
Like my finger stirring a pool of water,
Never still, never quiet.

rippled right through me! Wonderful!
