Fierce
across
tapestry,
the evenfall.
That taste of wildlight,
you want to seize the flush.
The hue never comes out clean,
abstract anarchy will not kneel.
As the artist falls and starts weeping
all she can do is look up and just stare.
crepuscular light
nightfall and twilight gloaming
fills the stars with dusk
shimmering through the laurel
the cadence of a quiet evenfall
red violet hues of soft Auroral
shimmering through the laurel
the cadence of a quiet evenfall
giving me shivers that enthrall
shimmering through the laurel
the cadence of a quiet evenfall
Sundown fantasies dipped in the artistry of a diamond jubilee
centennial moments of grandeur, heaven is open to souls
Rumi stars wrapped in skin, a roaming light that sinks within.
Haiku//Triolet//Sijo.
*
wrapped by stars
against dusk's glow,
stillness
resides within:
breaths change into tunes
quiet...lull
as dew ~
on the brink
of moon,
gods arise *
with kismet
in pure enchantment--
when eventide cuddles
me ````
through meditation.

sun to bed
'neath a soft quilt
of stars ...
nightingale song
drifts like hookah smoke ...
crickets rub
their legs -
violins
that weave
magic through
sweet night mists,
beckoning to dreams
to come dance in the dusk -
spin ...
on breaths of twilight.

come; sit for
a bit on the
bench in
the gazebo;
before evenfall.
watch the sun
wan dim
feel the flame
burn lose,
inviting
spirit love
to sing with passion,
boring deep, bound on its
own
mist of evenfall.

Birds twitter
As the sun sinks
Slowly
In a pink haze.
Soft muffling noises
Emerging.
Night time
Clouds close sky.
Cold air
Emitting,
Slight breezes
Ruffles their feathers.
Whilst awaiting morning
Sleep..
In evenfalls bliss.

beautiful
is evenfall
when sky
begins to blaze
and clouds appear as
plush pillows
floating
persimmon
on a
comforter
with rich threads
of burnt sienna
and scarlet interlaced
draped
over my valley

title chosen: Option 2: Evenfall
for the 'Pick-A-Title, Vol 17 - Yalto -' Poetry Contest of Edward Ibeh
Purple smile
Of mauve evening
Kisses
Magenta sky,
Arousing passions
On hushed arc,
Courting
Evenfall.
Sun dips
In ocean,
Ceding to
Moon’s quixotic reign.
Bird songs romanticize
Night’s
Rendezvous with stars.

In my sky
stale sun slinks slow,
blazing
still life’s stalled time,
slinging like dark cloud,
casts pensive
shadow
on dim day,
destined
to find soon
the night fall
through the twilight shroud.
With hope to see stars shine
I
wait at edge of dusk.

Dusky skies
tinged with orange
purple
and lilac hues
as sun slips behind
h o r i z o n
Transfixed
by natures
beauty
my worries
d r i f t away
As day turns to night
I’m wrapped in a blanket
of
moonbeams and starlight

Remind me
of evenfall,
young man -
the end of day.
A romantic time.
Pastel skies
at dusk
bringing smiles
to lips.
Sound abates.
Silence reigns.
One more day is gone.
The cricket chirps,"Well done".
"Rest".
Tomorrow is nigh.

Title: Evenfall
Lilac dreams
tiptoe inside
whisper
my secrets as
evenfall descends..
Aged stories
turn mauve
haunt me then
dissolve
in tides of
crimson seas..
Memories expand
become more mine than I
am
as evenfall ends.

evenfall
clad in dark green.
sable,
outflanking she.
gray wispy clouds flee;
moonglow slight.
the wolf,
silently
present.
present, his
aroused eyes
shushing irises
long hair, leaves on canvas
howl.
dark brush brightens moon.
