I suppose everything it’s own beauty if only looked for and the light or glow finds the right place and eyes are able to see the real beauty and then the setting is made up of more than just a reflection!
Some say romantic
some say full moon
the more insanity
I knowingly assume
not the moon with you
you’re the glow
the moon is only the curtain
the backdrop you should know
I couldn’t be more certain
you’re the glow of the moon
‘
Without light there’s darkness
if there’s nothing to see
then what are the benefits
some things the shadows
as if light they flee
but you’re in the forefront
as if the glow you’re the window
the moon needs you as it needs the sun
as light needs beauty more than a reflection
the glow of the moon on you, it’s expression!

You do a great job here sticking to a thematic image cluster. I enjoyed the way that you described the beauty of the moon. I especially like the title. I like the way that you tie in the moon to another person, making this a love poem both about the moon and about someone else. My suggestion would be to proofread this poem to clean up some of the lines so it is an easier read. Some sentences are clunky or do not make sense which caused me to trip up and have to reread the line again. With your writing, you want to make sure your reader can follow along with the flow so they are fully engaged in your writing. Confusing phrasing or breaking of flow can take the reader out and may prompt them to not finish the piece. For example:
“I knowingly assume
not the moon with you
your the glow
the moon only the curtain
the backdrop you should know”
is a confusing read that does not quite make sense. It requires some moving around of words. For example, instead of “the moon only the curtain” it should be “the moon is the only curtain” or something of that nature. Also, you use “your” throughout this poem when you mean “you’re” which can also distract the reader. This poem has a strong start and with some editing, it can be even better. Good job!
Thank you for your comment and advice, I did change the poem and you are right, thanks again.
Glad that I could help! I read the revision – you did an awesome job. 🙂
