Afterglow

Sun Go down Let my face befriend darkness So he may not seek these lips of mine that plead that beg needy for his kiss Nor feel my aching for his touch So He may not look me in the eyes and find there the afterglow of his love

Dear Charmaine. This entry before us is truly what we call poetry. The etheree format is marvelously executed. The words and thought flow not to mention have expression both gentle and strong. This little gem should be read out loud. The emotive factor is present. Well done

If you could help someone with a book of required readings about breakups, this should be on Page 1.

Love the feelings you captured in your Etheree Charma. The afterglow shines even when the sun does down.

This is such a heartbreaking poem, though so beautifully expressed as only you can my sweet friend. It hurts when you feel a love is lost and the heart does not want them to see that the flame is still burning, if only a little, but still enough to send a light that they might see. But knowing you, your smile would outshine this afterglow, so it would be hard to hide.
