a silver ring

a poem about lovers and a storm

 

a silver ring

around the autumn moon

it may storm

but in our bed

he reads me love poems

It's cute. Would his voice be heard if there's a storm outside? It's simply romantic, how a man could appease the tumult inside your chest, your fear and your worries. And he just sits or lies there, reading you a poem. Funny, but thoughtful.

definitely my kind of man! a great opening image- it is difficult to write with originality about the moon but I think you have achieved it. some nice detail here. fantastic.
