Poetry Magnum Opus

On a beach my lover dreamt

of a shell and I a pearl.

I woke holding the moon

between my palms-the ocean

breeze held me in an embrace,

my lovers enchanting face

aged into beauty.

Beautiful:

 

aged INTO beauty

 

Absolutely.

Barry, I like the brevity and ambiguity of this poem. Does the narrator project his love upon the moon, caught in a moment of memory when she is not present? Or is it a figurative description with the object of love in physical proximity, sharing the moment of poetic suspension? Haunting.
