Ever Cradled Love

(This moment ...of today’s new found moon)

I am cradling the moment  
as I would cradle you ….if only you would let me
I have cupped it in my palm….in a small boat of white
…blue sails full of the warm summer winds that crest over my thumbs 
Two yellow earth moons rise …one and two over 
the western waves of my pointers and pinkies

They flirt and romance you in the moment ....with dabbling night lights
           
They curl around the earth 
…just like you and I 
always swirling around each other
twined vines…circling …rising  
growing strong in our gravities force
but denied full union by the pulls of any other source

our ever ...up rooted love
our twine...our vines …cut back as if by morning light
only to grow again in 52 fortnights

Come to me in moon dreams…my love
Let me cradle you

...this moment is kind and the night is blind to refusals
and our love is always rising upon the ever edge of the glass ceiling of reality

Return to me …with the incoming tides
made higher still by today's two moons

and this our gravity..... eternal

Wow, I really like that. Congratulations. I have a moon spoon theme in my life and your poem resonates very much with me. 'Cupping the moment in hands' is beautiful, holding it and not holding on at the same time. This is very well written.
