Yearn

"The world stood still, My heart in jitters..." By Poet


                                  Quiet dusk!
                  enjoying sunset glory in the horizon,
                        on an evening of sky gold,
                 gossamer twilight of the melting rays 
                   descending on the mountaintops...
                     listen to homecoming birds
                      twittering to their mates!

                             I yearn for you,
         I yearn for watching this crimson nightfall together…
                   I remember the holding of hands,
        when our eyes met in the shimmering light of daybreak,
                  cascade of love sparkling in your eyes,
 
                           The world stood still, 
                            my heart in jitters,
                         The moment felt eternal!

                       
                                   FIRST PLACE
