Moon

by Yakari Gabriel   Jun 27, 2012


What would you think,
if I told you that I find
that you're something
between a Thursday
and a Friday night,
you're that feeling
people get when the
week is ending.

a mixture of
anxiety, and torture.

if I was ever asked
to describe you in one word.
I wouldn't call you "unique"..

but I'd call you "moon"

because, you're beautiful
in all aspects. in all circumstances
whether you have the clouds
in front of you, or behind you.

you're beautiful when
you don't show yourself,
when you hide, and when you're full

..I melt when I see you,
I'm uplifted, relieved, and inspired.

but, your presence is never
enough for me to captivate you,

and I'm left sitting,
like an American tourist, on
an Arubian beach..enjoying
the sunset only because
it means that ;

...you're right around the corner.

    ^^is this feeling happiness or anticipation? Its an expression I hav never heard before but I certainly like it! I great start, although I am unsure what you are talking about exactly - to or about a persob perhaps? Also, I am a little unsure about the second and third lines - 'if I told you that I find.. That you are something' - the two 'that's just dont seem to work, they ruin the flow a bit.. Other than that minor thing.. It flows smooth and is worded well.

    a mixture of
    anxiety, and torture.

    ^^ ah.. The emotions between 'thursday and friday'?
    I am just a litle unsure how this emotion could be torture as people tend to wait all week for the weekend to arrive and generally enjoy it but I suppose this is different for everyone.. Also.. In relation to the person (?) you arw writing .. They have obviously brought you sadness and pain to feel like such..

    if I was ever asked
    to describe you in one word.
    I wouldn't call you "unique"..

    ^^ there could be many meanings for this..
    Firstly, this person could be just an 'average joe type folk'..
    Second, this person could follow the crowd - like a clone
    Third, this person could be no different from perhaps another you have encountered..
    Fourthly, this person tries to act new and exciting constantly changing, but constantly failing..
    And many more of completely less relation..
    Its quite a clever little stanza, makes the reader think.

    but I'd call you "moon"

    ^^ i dont think you are actually talking about the real moon - I dont get that impression anyway, but I could be wrong...

    because, you're beautiful
    in all aspects. in all circumstances
    whether you have the clouds
    in front of you, or behind you.

    ^^then this stanza turna my previous ideas on their heads completely!! - are you talking about the moon? That is what I imagine from this stanza - and now I am a little confused, which may be my own doing... Hmmm

    you're beautiful when
    you don't show yourself,
    when you hide, and when you're full

    ^^ this could be talking about the moon, but also a million other glorious things! Including a heart, mind or soul perhaps..? Or even an emotion like jealousy or something.. Hmm again.

    ..I melt when I see you,
    I'm uplifted, relieved, and inspired.

    ^^ This could be talking about a person you love (perhaps even a love unrequitted).. But also the moon.
    Perhaps even a poem or simply words or a photograph.. There are currently a hundred thoughts swirling through my mind about what this poem actually entails. You really make the reader think! Or is that just me..?

    but, your presence is never
    enough for me to captivate you,

    ^^ the person theory - unrequitted love, this person is your everything i guess but they do not feel the same way, perhaps dont even know you exist..?

    and I'm left sitting,
    like an American tourist, on
    an Arubian beach..enjoying
    the sunset only because
    it means that ;

    ...you're right around the corner.

    ^^now could it be a place or a person still. This has such pronounced yet simple images created withs a few words.

    Overall, I am a little baffled about what you have written about - I really do think you have written about a person or to a person but I am quite unsure.
    Other than the confusing, thought provoking content of the poem..
    This is truly an amazing piece. It flows quite nicely and has such a tranquil feel to it.

    Ahh, sorry about the struggle, but you penned your emotions well if poetry was what you needed to do that!

    Your calls? :-/

    Oh, wow I guess I didn't understand a lot of it, thank you for telling me more. That's awfully sad, having someone there for just so long, and knowing that too? That you have to share. Wow, that seems like a brave heart to me still, and like you said to live life to the fullest. There was tons of emotions throughout the poem and even between the lines, then, I mean, it grabs the reader!
