My Brave Oxymoron Poem by Doris Cornago

You are the sun, bursting with energy

Blazing with seeming fury, you sear me

Into ashes sending me in circles wildly

Night and day, you are spouting fire...


I am your moon hiding in your shadow

Delighting in your reflected light

lightly traipsing, lost in a slow dance

hold my hand, hold my waist, we are one...


Two out in the universe, we are unafraid

We circle the earth and laugh at planets

Seasons change and we drink from the vine

We are earth, wind, water, and fire...


You stare at the vast horizon, a unicorn

Mythical being, prancing, changing form

A divine being from the sun, was once the sun

Your smile enamors me, as well as the pun...


You shatter me whole, draw heat out of stone

Straightening my whorls, my brave oxymoron

Cold searing hand, dark foreboding light

You instruct me with a soft iron hand...
