Emily Ramser- A Poem

Under your eyes

If I were the Earth,
I would cradle you to my chest,
between my snow-capped craggy mountains

in my river basins
and my rolling plains

covered in the wildflowers
that bear your name

and if you were the Moon,
I would reflect your face
in my seas and oceans,

my waves lapping
at your cheekbones,

the light of the north star
marking the twinkle
of your blue eyes.
