lunar pull

you have a knack for knowing

when my gravity

has attracted attention

from the ebb and tide

of an admiring flow

 

in a day or two

the waves will have

wandered off

and I'll still be walking

with you

Beats in rhythm to the tide, and your eyes are what pulls him in…Its not when you are walking hand in hand, but those moments when you take time to stand still, that the heart hears that rhythmic pull...Drawn…

Great Write Emily!

. the magic in your words is stupendous ...
. you're an amazingly beautiful poet ...

[A.A.Romanczuk]

And I too am pulled in ! As the moon reigns over the tides, so does the presence of the lover reign over the soul...and make us feel less alone...helplessly pulled to and fro...and every single one leaves a mark on the soul...never forgotten...never...though love may wax and wane...

your words attract.its good not to walk alone.

[Siddhartha]

lovely allusions as always. the moon as a liaison for love is so enchanting.waxing and waning and ebb and tide contrasted with steadfast love...

very zen, very intune with the comings and goings of things, people, places. the world changes. we hold pieces of it suspended in our minds, the building blocks of the soul. but so to souls come and go. very nicely written.

And you, my dear, have knack for selecting just the right words to pull us in and keep us there.... When someone touches us, their presence does indeed linger...
What gorgeous description... and a very fine title... :-)

Wow, this is so engaging, love the title "Lunar Pull" works so well at the metaphorical and literal level: the romantic moonscape and moonscape of love. The pull of gravity as a social bond, brilliant. The moments when you able to concentrate on the landscape. All contained in a masterfully succinct poem...just exquisite.

it's the steady things. the things that sit, mountainlike, (or walk, hand in hand along the edge of a continent) in our souls regardless of the ebbings.

What that other Emily would be like, if I really liked that other Emily.
