Best Setting Sun Poems

As sun sinks low at eventide 
I sit and gaze across the lea 
at open spaces far and wide
and hear soft voices calling me.

There’s something ‘bout this time of day
when curve of earth the sunlight bends,
and one by one the stars display;
a soothing peace and...

Further days are passing, lapsing long
Upsetting to unbecoming 
At dawn, always loneliness undaunting 
That continues on...
By inward breaking in

Will it ever come to fruitions end 
The offsetting, untiming, to complete unnerving
This I ask myself, as the sun and I are quickly becoming 
Sinking, drowning friends
Deep...

**The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.** "Helen Keller"


How cheerful to say that delight fills the air,
Most magic spells ruled this elated day.
When all our family and friends are...

This silhouette against evening sky
Etched into my longing eye

     That trailing gown

Coloured setting sun in shimmery
Little waves of water, and melancholy

     My feelings drown

In suffocating thoughts of loss
Such fragrant perfume, lip-gloss

     In softly...

heart ~ a wild collage
of gold-smeared skies
pressed within 
       oil-washed layers
of breathing
                melancholy
as leaves curled in
cashmere greens
       ...

The setting sun is getting low
Soon it will be time for me to go
It's time for me to leave this fight
And travel to God's majestic light

I've run my race and did my best
Now is the time for a well earned rest
The time has come for...

dusk’s curtain ends
a bird’s melody
what of your legacy

tick tock amends
near the sum of days
are you still in old ways

for what transcends
your last setting sun
have you left it undone

The sun is setting,
its pink glow hugging the mountain tops.

The clouds bow at its glory.

The peace of night begins to set in.

Dreams waft through my window
and the crickets lull me to sleep....

Like most people
On life’s long journey,
I’ve fought some bouts and
I’ve played some rounds,
I’ve had my ups and
I’ve had my downs,
I’ve laughed tears of joy and
I’ve cried tears of sorrow,
But always lived in the present,
Never tried to hasten my tomorrow.

I’ve played my part and
I’ve held my...

your titian glow ebbs
     as you sail into the sea
          sunset now descends

Setting sun

Splash of burgundy paan-spit
and the paterfamilias nodding off

pink  filial freeness
silhouetted against a crimson feel- flare
(or was it orange flair or even purple fair)

symbiotic exchanges
slapstick sequences

elfin  hemlines and tarty décolletages
catching agoraphobic impulses
homing…

Setting Sun
A poem lovely as a setting sun
That uplifts our heart when the day is done.

Boldly brilliant shades of orange and red 
Stunning is the sky glimmering outspread.

Slipping slowly beneath the horizon
A charming painting to cast one's eyes on.

Sky slowly changes it's colourful hue
Deepening into...

Preamble: In the half life of a setting sun, time travel exists.  In the naked singularity of a blackhole, when a sun is truly dying, you become what you want to.

This is the song. 

Born of the night, in the sky's own light.

Sizzling on the cerulean skyline
Twilight lingers, eternally singing
Contemplating this must be God’s headline
Lighting the soul with the joy He’s bringing

Twilight lingers, eternally singing
Laughing at the night, tempting glow of moon
Lighting the soul with the joy He’s bringing
Lifting hearts with wonders to make one swoon

Laughing at...
