"The Effects of Love"
by Max PhineasCan you hear the moonlight
If you press your ear against a window?
Can you see the thunder
If you squint into the darkness?
Can you feel the welcoming shadows
If you reach out to touch me?
I can when I'm with you.
The moon whispers to me as you hold me firmly in your arms.
The storm reveals itself in all its glory
And I see it as you hold my hand.
The shadows tickle my back
As we sit together on the porch.
Because you have a way with me.
I look at things with fresh eyes
Listen to sounds with new ears
I can touch the sky.
And embrace the stars
When I'm with you. 11/20/2004 Posted on 11/20/2004

Just beautiful -"feel the welcoming shadows," "The moon whispers," "embrace the stars." Great poem Cole. |
