The Moment of Bliss

Time is endless - that’s what they say! 

When I meet you, 
In the gossamer amber twilight...
sun leaving, painting the sky 
with a glistening vermillion aura, 
feels like the clock is ticking, 
the moment is fleeting, 
too fast! 

The golden past feels celestially serene and eternal, 
Never escapes my crimson-hued mind. 

The present is intoxicating and infinite, 
Never loses its blazing, limitless charm!
