You are the moon
Orbiting my world
Controlling the tides
Of my emotional oceans
And directing the winds
That carry my dreams
Creating uncontrollable storms of passion
That pummel my mountainous desires
But shine your calming reflection
Across the stillness
Of my solemn lakes
Wow! The beauty of this poem
Wow! The beauty of this poem made me dizzy. I have been reading poetry for more than forty-five years, and I have rarely seen a metaphor, especially an outer space metaphor, used with such verbal dexterity. The poem's length is exactly right---neither too short to be ineffective nor too long to be tedious. Bravo! Wow!
