Sunset

Stunning scenery in surrounding twilight lists lissomly, touching corners of my mind, bringing promises of the forthcoming night with billowing breezes, of the serene kind. In muffled silence, smitten by its splendor, the Composer's tempo sets our feelings on fire. Seductive sounds spool us with erupting ember. Enticing eyes envelope us in burning desire. Our visions of future euphoric foreverness shine in the subtle colors tinging the skies. Enveloping us with its muted tenderness, binding us with its lilting lows, intense highs. When we turn, the sun is gone, just like fine wine. Its lingering glow highlights us in exquisite eternity. Your slender, tender fingers entwine with mine. We softly shift from sentiment into sweet reverie.

Las this is utterly stunning. Your words paint a more spectacular scene that Rembrandt could have done. A fave for sure. Now where are you its been days since you wrote a poem ?

Hi my dear Svvie! You are surely free with your high praise ;) Thanks for the fav! Where have I been? Oh, I've seen things you wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. C-beams glittering in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate (paraphrasing Rutger Hauer from "Blade Runner" here of course). LOL Regardless, I guess I've been busy - didn't notice I had dropped offline for awhile. Thanks for watching after me my friend! :)

Linda your poem "Sunset" is a beautiful and evocative piece of writing. It captures the magic and romance of a sunset in a way that is both sensual and spiritual. I particularly like the way you use language and imagery to create a vivid and immersive experience for the reader. From the "stunning scenery" and "lissomly" listing twilight to the "smitten" silence and "Composer's tempo" setting feelings on fire, your poem is full of rich and evocative language.
