By Sunset's Gloaming At this lovely time of day when we put all cares away, When the clouds display their pink and blue soft colors, And birds are seen in silhouette as they return to roost, That is the best time of the day, as Sol retires and bids Adieu to purple mountains and sparkling silver seas I think of you and the happiness we share as we sigh At the Earth's glowing eye in our paradise together. In your warm embrace with a look of love upon your face, The sky afire with love's desire as the day is ending, Our hearts shall sing their song of love as paradise lies sleeping. Two as one in Heaven's grace by love's shore standing, Your eyes, the azure of your soul, they are ever shining. Ever in the gloaming of my heart your name does sing so softly. Within our nights, in paradise, love alone can be our song. You are ever my shining jewel in a brocade of stars, my angel we shall live love's dance as we love by sunset's gloaming. Surrounded by twinkling stars, enchanted by a full moon Rising, I pledge my heart to you while dancing in the dark, Cheek to cheek, as we feel the romantic beat of nature's Nocturne calling, as our two souls take flight throughout Our sacred night to soar to heights with fevered yearning. The sweet bliss of your kiss wakes my passions, burning. You whisper with amour words that I have longed to hear This lovely summer night with scented Jasmine blooming. In our Hawaii's paradise below moonlight gleaming, You are in my arms before love's waters shining. We find a new paradise within the light of your soul, As now your lips meet mine in a kiss that is divine. Joy we now shall find in love's endeavour shining, As Jasmine scents the air we lose ourselves in passion. We shall find love's peace and joy as our bodies entwining, Now the time our desires fulfilled By Sunset's Gloaming. 7-8-17 Collaboration Contest Sponsor Jan Allison

I love to read your poetry because it flows a bit like warm garlic butter across fresh-baked bread sticks. How this did flow...now, I'm melted.
