A man can do more than hang the moon for the woman he loves.

If I were the Mighty Atlas with the world on my shoulders
I would lean the sphere to one side
making all the oceans collide.
I would let you soak in warm sunlit-rays by day
and feel the coolness of ocean’s spray at night.
Whatever you desired this mighty man would
tilt and sway the world for you.

    Seemed like the Atlas concept deserved more than pleasing a woman with a nice bath. The Atlas tilting idea is a good image, it deserves to be built into a more substantial poem.

    This is a great write. Sounds like the world is on your shoulders and you will gladly give it to the one you love.
