Staring On Sunset

Perched near the bend
where Sunset slides
From infamy to ecstasy
I watch the summer roll
and stroll, as the parade
of cars, stars and those
hiding within themselves
Fuel the sun to ensure
Its on-time for its casting couch
audition with the all-hands blue sky
and tainted orange-red cousins
looking to turn an LA trick
into thin air
Sex bleeds inadvertently
with each smile, tush, rack and package
willing to come out and play
youth is eternal
Whether you're undergraduate or overfortunate
Slick shades hiding the clear and present
danger fit for the unintended consequences
waiting down the Boulevard
its Summer
its Sunset
And dreams are in store.

Thx SKAT, and if you've ever lay witness to Sunset Blvd, there's an unknown around every corner, especially around where this bend occurs.

Youth is eternal, the heart is always young, the mind may say otherwise, but in the sunset of life, one can be forgiven for thinking he's left everything to the dice. Intelligent. Intriguing. A mind experience. Smiles all the way from the land of thousand isles. :D Kim

Thx Kim, I appreciate your reading and share of your thoughts. Sunset is a state of mind, even more so when you're in the thick of it while scribbling thoughts.
