Notes About The Poem

Beneath the Marmalade Sky

The marmalade sky, aglow
      with the setting sun, is fading
   as the day slowly dwindles down 
to night. The sun increasingly 
   losing its glimmer as it submerges 
       behind a bank of clouds.
         Descending yonder; sinking further
     and further, into the horizon.
   Two lovers on a rendezvous
sit by the seaside admiring it in awe 
      while it lasts. They snuggle up
         beneath the changing sky, waiting
             to gaze at the stars tonight
