Repose In Twilight
Twilight falls on slender frame
Against a sea without a name
Ivory pearl smile, tucked in a rhyme
A beauty misplaced among the waves of
time.
Fearsome, a tremble
cold beneath an icy sky
only a dry tear in a thimble
shed after a lonesome sigh.
She is a single petal
caught in the wind
from memory to shade
reflection of a night lost again.
She is a prayer whispered
A dream faintly clinging
An iris in bloom
An Autumn in waning.
Her soul is a winter
cooling in repose
But her heart is like summer
a fiercely burning rose.
Her tears don't fall
they rest and shimmer
reflecting in the stars
as a heavenly glimmer.
