Sangria Sunset

Kaleidoscope of a rainbow's hope,
realizations of grandiosity from a splendorous mount-
          A looking glass for a peace, alas,
crystallization of beauty from an azure fount.

Sunset hues of yellow and white, 
with a splash of Prussian in rain's delight-
           Contrasts of the day and night
with a flash of a lover's fantasy sight.

Spectrum dreams, not as it seems,
continuous light shines with fervor's gleam-
           A rift of a cliff of a twilit stream,
clashes with reverie’s majestic supreme. 

I've seen the beauty held in
       a rainbow's desire, as the rain ends with sangria fire-
Releasing all the glow acquired with the flow, 
      glistened tints of pink sapphire.

Palatial sprays in canary ways are believed to 
shower life with nectar, 
           my medallion stays on my porch 
these days, and receive nourishment from a 
               butterfly collector. 

Chartreuse and cobalt 
    with a splash of honeyed hazel shimmer,
brings abstruse beauty with a flash
           of lovely palatial glimmer.
