Her type of expressing herself and everything that needs to be conveyed through comparisons is remarkable. Through the allegories in the poem, we can suspect that once this special someone is found, there is nothing more fulfilling than being with them.
"Wild Nights" by Emily Dickinson can be translated a few different ways, yet the clearest explanation is that the poem leads into enthusiasm, love and sexual attractions. The opening stanza surely gives the reader the picture of a loving encounter between two lovers. The second and third stanzas are much darker, making a comparison for the strong involvement with sea

    The Thousand and One Nights, generally known to the English, speaking world as the Arabian Nights, is a compendium of Arabic tales compiled between the twelfth and the fourteenth centuries. The collection starts with the story of King Shahrayar. Betrayed by his adulterous wife, he swears never to trust a woman again, deciding instead to marry a different virgin every night and have her executed the next day. He carries out his plan for three years, until his Vizier can no longer find a virgin to offer the king. The Vizier's courageous daughter, Shahrazad, then attempts to change the king's mind and save the remaining maidens of the kingdom. Shahrazad offers herself as a bride. With the help of her sister, Dinarzad, she obtains permission to tell the king a story. Just as the sun is about to rise, she reaches the point of critical suspense, and the king, his curiosity piqued, spares her for the next night to complete her narrative. But the following night only brings another unfinished story. Thus, the king spares the bride for a thousand and one nights during which time she narrates an astonishing variety of tales. Finally, fascinated with his bride of "one night," Shahrayar rescinds the decree and crowns her as the queen.…

This poem is very sensual, sexual and erotic. The entire poem could be viewed as a metaphor for sexual intercourse with the usage of the word rowing and the line "Might I be moor in the tonight," specifying the object of the preposition in. Dickinson uses repetition which adds a sense of excitement to the poem. Also take to note that in each stanza there are only four lines. The second and fourth lines of these three stanzas all seem to rhyme, even in the second stanza the words "port" and "chart" have ending consonants that seem to rhyme these methods are defined as exact and slant rhyming, two styles that Dickinson is well know…
