Let the Sun Wait To Set

I wish for me the spent sun waits to set for a while,    
it’s not time yet to go down with the depleted day.     
The sky is still to be filled with the chromatic pile,       
the wafting network of wispy clouds wants to sway.     

It’s not time yet to go down with the depleted day       
for the crimson sun hung on the horizon’s glimmer.     
The wafting network of wispy clouds wants to sway      
in the latticed sky’s fading fresco of golden shimmer.    

For the crimson sun hung on the horizon’s glimmer      
the flowers haven’t finished spraying the fragrance.      
In the latticed sky’s fading fresco of golden shimmer        
the tinsels of radiance are still drizzling in a trance.       

The flowers haven’t finished spraying the fragrance 
in the gleaming twilight ambiance under dulcet dome. 
The tinsels of radiance are still drizzling in a trance
at the end of the pathway that will take me home. 

In the gleaming twilight ambiance under dulcet dome
the sky is still to be filled with the chromatic pile
at the end of the pathway that will take me home,
I wish for me the spent sun waits to set for a while.
