Sunset Releases

~Sunset’s Releases 

~Sunsets, a time for many releases, 
   letting not the sun go down upon one’s wrath, 
   the author of lives broken in several pieces, 
   these be but imaginary epitaphs. 

~Time enough for tombstones' writ of glory, 
   all unnecessary quarrels should cease, 
   remembering earth life is but a short story,
   allow young lovers bask in sun’s rays at least. 

~What goes around will come around to see. 
   Again, let us begin, again, to learn to win, 
   not causing massacre of physical spree,
   but of Godly creed let us keep human skin. 

~Let not the sun go down upon nary frown, 
   lose the many yokes, ‘this madness provokes!’ 
   If frown be found, put upon it, Love’s gown, 
   unique are the strokes of different folks. 

~What goes around will come around to see. 
   Let us rise up voice, unison in choice. 
   a sown nature might very well be banshee, 
   though if be brotherly love, we’ll have rejoice… 

~The sun’s rays are love a smiling vitamin D, 
   enlighten the soul, improving humanity’s mold. 
   Improving constitution’s nutritional glee, 
   God smiles, warming hearts of many that is cold!
