Frederic Parker Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Midnight Romance

Twilight's color is ashes of roses
the horizon glows crimson as sun sets
the round cerulean sky now decomposes
to invite a charcoal night that love begets
ivory stars weave a soft nocturnal shawl
lover's swish absinthe by dim candlelight
we toast to shadows floating on the wall
from lambent flames that burn in passionate night
candles melt in their porcelain holder
night falls darker like obsidian glass
moonlight's smoke warms lips that start to smolder
silhouettes, drift until the dawn trespass
wrapped in soft sable tranquil and content
as divine passion was inhaled and spent
