Some flower in the twilight,
the dark does not assault them
they succumb upon a dusky breath.
How unlike is the glaring light?
How it enslaves and pinions
each stem with a fiery eye.
Love mesmerized
yearns for the dark coverlets,
the secrecy of eventides.
Those brief nocturnal shallows
can hide a sorrow,
make you smile like the last rays
of a dying sun.

Shadowed by a love that seeks not fear,
for true love is engrained in our souls-
I shall leave his loyal side never.
Long roads leading us to heaven’s gates-
Tangerine eventides call our names
as we tarry toward forever.
The clarity of soft summer rain
pouring with love as star dust shimmers-
touching my heart with your sapphire smile.
And I still love you in deep silence-
honeysuckle eyes gleam in Autumn
as we fade into sunsets in style.
Entrancing songs pulsating with hope
resound in melodies of true love-
anticipating your touch, tender.
Mesmerized and motionless I fall
into arms that warm my heart and soul-
into your embrace…I surrender.

Long since ago this paradise, became our proud ancestral home.
Where eventides are graced, with skylines flames of vermilion shades,
Their embers finally embrace sundown, as night draws nigh and twilight fades
Those heady scents of frangipani, casts magic potions upon summers breeze.
And mockingbirds forever never cease, to mimic natures sounds in song.
While the menagerie of wildlife silently, still forage verdant banks of lakes,
Moonlight mirrors on pellucid waters, silhouetting mountain peaks.
Luscious landscape all to recall, in memories and distant dreams
Where wild flowers perfume, infuse emotions evergreen,
To tranquil sounds of ripples, soothing senses, endlessly reprise.
