Best Dusk Poems

Melting sorrows drift toward tomorrow
when sounds dance in hushed irrelevance.
Sacred seconds are held in creation's tawny yolk
as crystal waves of wind bid farewell to this day's fate.

A single dove darts through cinnamon plumes
in one last dance through heavens gate.
With ageless dreams bathed in honey gold

As afternoon fades
and the shadows grow longer
daylight turns to dusk

As daytime slowly comes to end, 
and twilight spreads across the sky; 
the stars in heavens thus ascend.
As daytime slowly comes to end, 
the birds in trees the night to spend,
for in the darkness do not...

The mellow western sky darkened, 
The sea was calm that night,
Yachts tacking across the bay
Towards their appointed piers.
Luminous moon rays shimmer 
Over wavelets that bathed
The coloured pebbles
Strewn all over the long shore.

As night slowly fell
I began my walk along the promenade.
A soft breeze was a...

Pink Sahara in the sky;
clouds are dunes of sand.
I am watching shadows play
right into my hand.

Farewell, light of day.
Sky, a painted desert rose,
slowly fades away...

The sun was setting, as it usually does
The town a ghost town, the main street all but silenced
The wind blowing leaves and dreams to and fro
The tension in the air was palpable

The few souls about all peering out shuttered windows
When in from the west, came...

warmth
 
fading
 
at sunset
 
cooler breezes
 
evoke slight goose bumps
 
or perhaps they are caused
 
by the spectral reflection
 
of sky colors kissing the sea
 
overwhelmed by many sensations
 
dusk evolves slowly in the April sky
 
I shiver, knowing Holy Saturday
 
pulls curtains of anguish...

A red sun, pooling like a drop of blood,
coagulates at the edge of darkness.
And night flows over its shadows, a flood
black as pitch, inking a seamless starkness.

A gilded moon, like a pitted gold coin,
beams in the sky as a beacon of light.
And like swarms of...

How often I have watched the sun descending into dusk,
and dusk, absorbing sun, exudes bright flavors for the eye.
It's eye candy, often variegated, splendid in its hue.
Those hues, dessert at end of day, sweeten with succulent delight.

What delight in skies of mango, cantaloupe or marmalade,

As dusk inks ebony skies,
stars unveil their timid light.
And a bleeding sun feigns death;
as shadows merge with the night.

Cotton-candy clouds cluster;
edged in magenta and grey.
And as night's curtain descends,
darkness dims the edge of day.

Merging with body and soul;
myth and reality meet.
And fairies sprinkle dewdrops,
to cool...

In winter’s dusk so hopeless and forlorn,

a new bird's song burst forth; it gave me pause.

Though earth and heaven both had seemed to mourn

in winter’s dusk so hopeless and forlorn,

a sanguine melody that night was born.

I pondered but I could not guess the cause!

In winter’s...

Alas! 'Tis the lionesses out to hunt 
And the Mara antelopes out of luck 
That trouble your vision, me friend. 
Come, let's quick to our tent, 
Lest the crouching queen, 
And the scheming king, 
Find us in the wind
Curious friend
Of the Mara
Come
Oh...

In my countryside, silent at sunset
Long gone is the stress, long gone is the fret,
Long gone is the need to be so wide-eyed
Silent at sunset, in my countryside

Calm now are my skies with their colors bold
Streaks of blue marry with orange and gold,
My mind long...

Once a Goddess of Evening

I miss the placid lavendar dusks
tinged with cerulean mist
and watching spiders
weaving gossamer into faint
whispers of evening

How I would dally,
dressed in velvet and pearls
dangling emeralds on
golden swirls to
entice new tomorrows
into this sultry,
waiting world
