Evening Enchantment

Dusk jiggles and stirs evening enchantment.
A crystalline glass of intoxicating twilight
                      in hues of yellow, orange, magenta and blue.
                Globs of honey-dipped cumulus floating
          and garnished swirls of minty mist rising above.
Every drop is spilling out immense pleasure
                          that transcends me into euphoric freedom
            and my boredom drowns in it as I drink it all.
