Notes About The Poem

Over the Moon

He curls his lithe frame around mine.
All arms and legs, a fluttering heart
As a little bird’s, frightened but brave.
I kiss him, he tastes like oranges,
fresh strawberries, and courage.

I smile the sun into his green eyes,
Braid starlight in his curls, lick salt
From his skin, the shore our bed,
Lapping waves our spectators,
Soaking us until he curves his back
In roaring bliss. I carry him
Over the moon into the sun.

Phillip Garcia April 6, 2017 at 1:06 PM Way to keep this vivid description 'PG' and in lines with the rules. I sure hope his lithe little frame didn't melt amid the solar flares you abandoned him in :p It's gorgeous poetry, sheriff. Masterfully penned. Darren White April 6, 2017 at 1:23 PM I think it's even PG-13 :D And hahahaha about melting his lithe frame, well, those waves lapped at uss, so it was well balanced. Thanks my friend :)
