Sunset

I see pink lips that mark Sun’s last kiss to the sky They fade slower than a lover’s But it is still goodbye. One side of the house Already in darkness waiting As my light burns steady For the end of day. And as it glows flushed I see my empty room Thank my pen for its constant Companionship. Oh I wish I could describe Hot passion laid outside My window or flare your Memory with half the same glare. Yet watch it fades even now Until night’s seductive fingers Prise love’s fiery glow From the sky’s forgetful breast
