Queen of the Night

Look to the moon queen of night

she causes the ocean to attend her

And he so long as she is in sight

has full tide to kiss her tender

 

When she at last turns off her light

he calls the mighty waves to moan

With low ebb manifests his sorrow

heaving the fathoms with every groan

 

So you the keeper of my heart beat

have my joys attending your will

Lifting the weight so high and so deep

causing loves every wave to fill

 

When you are gone away from me

 as you sometimes are known to depart

Causes my very soul to ache

waves of sorrow flow from my heart

 

So like the ebb and flow of tide

life's joys and sorrows surrender

To the never ending song of love

we both give as much as we render

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

This is a dream. I love the way the water held it all together.
Sweet poem. The thing that stands out the most is how you
got your point across about the water without actually telling
us directly what to think. You have a great ability to communicate.

[Ladysue]

Oh yes, this is beautiful. Love the last two lines... A fantastic write...

ode to the moon...nice work

[Scarlet Pulse]

Amazing as always Tate. You don't ever give me anything bad to say, or to critique. Your words just come together so beautifully. The imagery you set with your words is amazing and beautiful. I can definitely relate to this poem, which made this a really enjoyable poem to read. Wonderful work!!!

[Mauricio Montoya]

Very deep and rich in emotion to describe one of the many wonders this world has to offer. This poem allows me visualize and feel what some of us take for granted. Excellent write for a job well done.

[Ecros Lathes]

I like it it is very beautiful. :)

[Devons]

Very lovely rendition and the connection between nature and emotion is attractively and richly portrayed. (beautiful picture too!)
The last verse is tailored so skilfully and tenderly that it casts its own glow back upon the calm waters of the preceding lines; tranquil and soulful.
As is this writer's high standard.
The relationship and sympathy of nature and man is a good deal closer and more intimate than people allow themselves to realise. This poem hopefully goes somewhat towards enlightening those ignorant ones...

This is a powerful write here. I like this it's very well written

[An owl on the moon]

I have always loved the sea... the deep beauty and the power drawing me. Thank you for sharing words that help me glimpse that life again. (The music is a wonderful choice as well.)
