"She is the moon!" | 9

O any girl could do   with such a friend there!
I'm sure I sound absurd   & rather strange
if the mountain is high   there'll be a slue of bends there
if the river is long   it's certain things will change

the one you love   is the one who seems to show
a mirror to   the heart you've not recovered
she borrows from your breast   her bonnie glow
her bees about your hidden flower have hovered

she is the moon!   the sun is in your eyes
her eyes reflect your eyes   & change the light
you might be foolish   & she might be wise
but it's hard to gauge the moon   on the page of night

these were thoughts that came to me   in a flash
the sonnet smiled & sighed   like flame & ash
