Oh, to watch the sunset, sitting with my guy, seeing the persimmon of a summer sky. Like apricot jam, it’s slathered out and glowing - glowing like the smile, which on my face is growing. Clouds as plush as pillows cavort, then fade away. Sea gulls call out cow-cow-cow at the end of day. Upon the beach we hear the rising of the tide. I cuddle even closer to my sweetheart’s side. He puts an arm around me as the cool breeze plays with the palm which underneath we’re sitting as it sways. Sun’s become a rose in bloom, sinking into sea. Eventide unfurls around us, so enchanting me. Slight wisps of twilight clouds will also soon be gone. Still I wish this loveliness would go on and on. Sun will be replaced by moon and shine for us no more after sunset’s final light has drenched this splendid shore.
