Notes About The Poem

Placed 1st: Line Inspiration Poetry Contest
Sponsor: Joseph May


 

Melodies of Sunset

Where fleecy clouds, on rosy-quilt meandered,
Motifs amethystine wowed tangerine horizon
Embroidering on magenta arc, designs crimson,
Beckoned by blushed-musings of marigold sun
Spraying amber gold, on burnt-yellow attire,
Scattering breaths sapphire, on periwinkle fire;

As tunes chrysanthemum, sung of eve’s desire,
Choreographing themes of dreams romantic,
In symphony of colors shimmering on ripples
Sprinkling twilight on tapestries of blue ocean
Painting azure fabric, in aureate brushstrokes,
Quivering our essence, embraced in passion.

This is where we were, when first-time eyes met,
When sight of love fueled embers of romance
And smitten hearts spoke through lovesome glance,
Admiring from bridge, sun’s glorious farewell;

Where we stand today, as heart-rhythms resonate,
Synchronizing with love, and melodies of sunset.

"This is where we were, when first-time eyes met, When sight of love fueled embers of romance And smitten hearts spoke through lovesome glance, Admiring from bridge, sun’s glorious farewell; Where we stand today, as heart-rhythms resonate, Synchronizing with love, and melodies of sunset" A portrait of love. Perfect! Above it all...but yet immersed.

Vijay, there is a very interesting transition at the end of this poem to consideration of lovers. So, I'm thinking about what you wrote in a previous poem I read today about reflections on our lives. The sunset here could be an allegory for our old age. It's also funny how when we are feeling love, colors and our recollection of them appear more intense.

Beckoned by blushed-musings of marigold sun: which shows how I lost my muse. Perfect imagery and great imagery and rhymes. Your last line is beautiful beyond compare.

Wonderful poetry on the everlasting strength of love and romance and the serenity and splendor of nature. Skillfully portrays a couple taking in the splendor of a sunset while thinking about their relationship's history and the joys and sorrows of the present. Through the poem, you construct a beautiful picture of a sunset using rich and vivid imagery. Impressive work,dear Vijay. Words such as "amethystine," "magenta," "marigold," "amber," "sapphire," and "periwinkle" conjure up images of vibrant colors and poetic beauty.

You paint a very romantic scene with your words Vijay, nothing more romantic than being with your loved one watching the sun go down. Good luck in the contest. Tom
