Mike Gentile Poet Rhyme

The Last Sunset

A watercolor treasure of flaming hue
          I will always recall the last sunset with you
Wine glass prisms dancing round in our hands
          Plotting and scheming our midsummer plans

The sun hangs lower, a glimmering pendant
          Bestowing its shimmer on your face, resplendent
Only minutes to go, only moments to cherish
           Foretelling a destiny, a love that will perish

Though darkness ensues and my heart is sleeping
           A new day will break to end all the weeping
But no matter the course, all my life through
           I will always recall the last sunset with you
