Notes About The Poem

Holding Daybreak In Pause

On your mulberry canvas
I inscribed my tangerine sun 
Cached behind a dark rock
When violet dawn broke

Beneath orchid clouds
Your lilac brushstrokes arose
From steel-blue ocean
As gentle winds tickled
Platinum-hued ripples

I sprinkled orange glow 
Where you embossed
Shades of ruby-desire
On pink-rose magenta
Floating on purple fire

In silence we held hands
Celebrating romance
Ablaze in our own aura 
That you and I sparked
Holding daybreak in pause

NOTE: Sunrise in Marblehead, MA
Placed first in Standard contest #105 by Brian Strand
