Fleeting Moment

Time is endless - that’s what they say! 

                                    When I meet you, 
                           in the gossamer amber twilight...
                             sun leaving, painting the sky 
                          with a glistening vermillion aura, 
                            feels like the clock is ticking, 
                                the moment is fleeting, 
                                          too fast! 

                    golden past feels celestially poignant and eternal, 
                             never escapes my crimson mind... 
                            present is intoxicating and infinite, 
                         Never loses its blazing, limitless charm!
