Round my finger
I twirl my hair
As round my life
You come here and there.
The tides lapping
Up and down
As my feelings
Breathe and drown.
Luna up high
Waxing and waning
As I wonder
Is my love fading?

Round my finger
I twirl my hair
As round my life
You come here and there.
The tides lapping
Up and down
As my feelings
Breathe and drown.
Luna up high
Waxing and waning
As I wonder
Is my love fading?
My guess, yes.
I like it. Simple, yet meaningful, also happy about linking emotion with lifeless cycles of nature. Was there purpose to make each line flow like tides, give it a visual form?
Yes! I was actually thinking about tides when I came up with the poem. So while I was writing it I was visualizing the tide coming and going. I was thinking about naming it Tides but I thought Orbit sounded better.
