From behind the milky mist of floating clouds,
admiring earth’s beauty from the darkness of his skies...
Hiding, peeping,
secretly enjoying his freedom;
from her sheltered shadows all fortnight…
He reflects majestic sheen for once…
in the restless ocean mirrors of her tearing salty eyes...
Envious... just today;
as her moon flaunts his radiance, detached…
… undespised …
Raging at the horizon, swelling voluptuous waves
foaming into magnificent roars of emotions;
longing for her beloved
… to snuggle back in the tamed warmth of her bosom…
Whilst he, henpecked;
yearns his own existence…
until the next full moon blossoms…
Penning a wandering though in the moonlight….
as ears enjoy the sounds of the hypnotized sea
Thanks to the gravitational magic of the mighty moon…..!!!

ReplyDeleteThanks Mddyj... :)
DeleteThanks for your many lovely comments :)
ReplyDeleteIt is always a treat to read your much awaited works.
"Taming the Moon" on a deeper note describes that bond between a mother and her growing up child... how he seeks to explore the world and how her caring side tries to safeguard him in her warmth...
I loved how you personified the Earth and the Moon to depict that loving relation. Beautiful poem.
Tasha, I saw most of your poems when I opened blogspot to publish mine...
DeleteIn my delay, I think I missed out one.... "A Brave Front'.
In "Taming the moon', I was actually thinking of a marriage...
I guess to effectively write about mother child, I will have to wait 'just a little bit more...' to experience it first hand.... :) But like the idea alot....
so beautifully you have expressed the feeling between mother and a child.... very nice
