Notes About The Poem

                     

Days End

The day is done. Travel dispersed, no more roaming.
Between dusk and sunset, it’s the gloaming.

I settle to watch, inspired by that instant moment,
When day gives over to night a regal bestowment.

Lights begin to shimmer, as we near twilight.
Across the horizon created a radiant glow so bright.

This magical moment captured with a deep ruby hue.
Detailing an exquisite hefty crimson etched in view.

Streams of color blend seamlessly in swirls of delight.
Heavily embossed across the faded sky, birds in flight.

Sunset’s glowing color of crimson and gold,
As night’s velvety blanket begins to unfold.

Whispers of a breeze wafting gently, flickers a scent.
Evokes aromatic bursts, sensual yet earthy by intent.

With a sweetness, and a warm tranquil overtone.
I am nestled snugly, captivated by joy I've never known.

Capturing my imagination of a candle in glorious blaze,
My breath extinguishing it to create the dark night haze.

I actually wrote this months ago Jay, but it came so close to fitting the requirements of a present contest, that I decided to use it. The contest said nothing about having to be a new poem, so I changed the name and made some changes and reposted it. I must admit, I do love it, I am so glad you do too my friend. Best wishes from SV

Oh my, this is such an extravagant, extraordinary and glorious write with enchantingly vivid imageries that surely captivated my attention..This one possesses such a mellifluous rhythm which flows like a beautiful incantation and just fascinates my heart.. Sooo beautiful "light begins to shimmer, as we near twilight" Truly breathtaking! "Magical moment captured with a deep ruby hue" I'm definitely a sunset-loved and the hues of delight that you've magically painted here are just WOWWW

Dear Hiya, I an so grateful that you like this poem. It is one that I am kind of proud of. I rarely write a poem without a story. My poems usually just come to me as I write. This one was written months ago, and I had to "work" on it to create it. I made changes to it and reposted it for this contest. I am glad you like it as I do too. It stands to me as proof that one can do anything if they put their mind to it. I have always said that I cannot write descriptive prose. Now I know I can. Thank you for your delightful comment.

Queen of rhymes, what a beautiful take on sunsets, crimson and gold hue, ruby hues and “between the dusk and sunset its the gloaming” i just love how you’ve written this in such a descriptive manner. Your way with words is so soul warming. As a sunset lover I cant help but sigh as i read this stunning write about sunsets. The way you’ve painted imagery is so captivating and moving. Every line shows us readers a panoramic view of sunset skies. very unique and sublime rhymes too, love this
