Coloring of Night

an amused lilt adorns two crimson lips with a first glimpse into the deep saffron sunset of eve crystalline aquamarine pools cast a gaze taking delight in this time escaped wisps of your lemon gilded hair flee their bindings as we steal into the lilac-hued fields of night hand in hand, we behold the tangerine arc of the graceful sun slipping into peaceful slumber 'neath a blanket of hillside ne'er before seen guileless beauty follows in the appearance of distilled magical faerie light: auroras floating by in lavender and chartreuse swirls across the charcoal painted skies twinkling coral celestials reign overhead smiling upon our watermelon shaded cheeks from chilled whispering words of ardor breezing by in this, our color-breathed eventide (4/6/2021) Poetry Contest: Changing Colors Sponsored by: Emile Pinet
