Sunset

Ribbons of rose in a darkening sky
purple strokes of evening's artist whose
brushes tip each fleeting cloud's silver lining
with a hint of gold leaf..
sun still giving one last 
hurrah of a dying day, before slipping down
into satin sheets of a lavender sea..

hey, valerie, thanks from the movie suggestion! if you say you're interested in mystery, love and especially fantastic and legendary creatures, i suggest you read the Twilight series written by Stephenie Meyer, it's absolutely brilliant, about vampires, werewolves and other myths. that's where all of my inspiration comes from, the language is very rich and sensitive. i hope you get the chance to read them, they're worth it.
