Twilight Is the Night

This twilight of all nights Wants to hold her tight In a grip of pain That knows no rights! In a virgin best That will not let her have rest As the heavens teemed star Always flees so far! As all the Lands abide And all the peoples beside In another portion of town That straggles up and down! She lingers on the pebble shore Sends faints kisses to the sea With wind whipping the hair of bliss That’s sparkles with ecstasy! Winged words on souls that pierce Into height of loves rare universe Birds on myrtle-bushes With leaves in the reeds and rushes! The love of the woods and waves In the brink of the dewy caves With silent I love you In the morning dew! Brooke

Great imagery. Particularly liked "with wind whipping" (am partial to a bit of alliteration!).

Absolutely beautiful! You creatively wove great images of nature into a natural and elemental love.
