Short Crepuscular Poems

crepuscular mist
rising above the shore’s rocks…
do I see a light?...

Streams of tears falling;
His crepuscular brawn years,
Embracing his end....

 in coral of late afternoon colors....

In the crepuscular half-light 
Our amaranthine trysting dreams 
Are transformed to apodictic
Iridescent lyrical love 
Tokens of rhapsodic tranquil...

gifts Romeo rose —
he sees beauty not the thorns;
Jule’s, the angel’s light

crepuscular moon with grin
tiptoe reach will kill the mood

Crepuscular rays of light,
Shining through
This canopy of clouds,
Near by, this road to Oz
Nothing but this field of
Poppies, sweet aromatic
Orange-yellow poppies,
As we drown in this
Spell of deep sleep...

Paris, France is great
especially when at dusk.
Much beauty abounds.
 
Crepuscular light
before the total darkness
enhances beauty.

Wonder of Europe
like a jewel in a case.
Canvas comes alive!

crepuscular bats
wings flutter frantically -
garlic breath saves me

love flees from your
     crepuscular skies-
                     why was farewell your choice?

Flying in the celestial dome,
Above the swirling sea of cumulonimbus clouds,
Through the beautiful blue!

Crepuscular rays of light,
Shining through the clouds.
Ever morphing silhouette captures my sight.

Through the crispy and hooded clouds, I silently sail.
As if I am living a fairy tale!...

the host of fullness
illumination of change
made holy by God
moonlight from crepuscular 
to robust; bright with sun rays

bursting personality
the pride of Father and Son
Spirit-filled Christian
who’s one with the Lord
glory to glory

                         Gliding orb
           Gilding the crepuscule with glitter
Holding the attention of spectators in spectacular fashion
                Exuding exuberance in goodbye to gloaming

Scent rising
'The mustiness of damp autumnal days
ebbing away as newilife
Springs forth from hibernating soil
As spores spread ring on ring, 
concentric ever increasing,
Encircling the shoots birthed from cold earth.
Crepuscular rays land on ground
Long cold from winter's clutch
And warmth ensues, the heady scent of
another spring....

It starts out as a lullaby.
Incandescent,
Halcyon,
Full of felicity.
Tranquil and lithe
As it cascades through
Meadows of enchanting
Sweetness.

But, all too often
In this rhapsodic and crepuscular
World,
Serenity is damaged.
Little by little,
The songbirds of life
Become discouraged,
And lose themselves in their chrysalises of pain....

Last night, the "wolf moon's" crepuscular aura glowed,
A luminous peach orb, it hung in its abode 
so spectacularly, that I silently slowed
my weekend walk through the willowwacks, while words flowed.

Crepuscular is waning afternoon,
in lapis lazuli does day respire.
The seashore chimes its solitary rune
as tentative the lapping waves acquire
the briny echo of a mermaid's lyre.
Though timidly does surf caress the beach
in mirrored shades of night as they conspire,
brave wisps of comets in the untold reach
of space diffuse and pluck my heart into the breach....

This is all I have
Shredded heart 
Rhapsodic essence 
Grimace on the face 
Cacophony in the ears 
This is all I have 
Lost talisman 
Waiting for a serendipitous 
Ineffable rumination 
With an ephemeral existence 
This is all I have 
Mellifluous sound 
Turned to screeching noise 
Crystalline entity 
Pirouetted to a crepuscular subsistence 
This is all I have...

Should doors close, you'll find me awaiting 
Harking to aeolian whispers,
Watching the windows for your return,
Sitting in crepuscular stillness,
Should doors close, balconies will open,
Creating new possibilities
Of our passionate love reunion,
Look for marked jalousies, should doors close.

Speak No Evil

As I sit enjoying the penumbra of the crepuscular sky,
Suddenly all hell breaks loose, as I hear a sonorous cry.
“I have no room for jealousy or a cynical upheaval!”
With exuberant energy, my quick response, yet, I Speak No Evil! 
Matters not the visceral thought behind this desultory exchange,
All minds clear, with visual halcyon recall, of an opulent coastal range.

She adored her old, crepuscular cat, 
Penumbra, and could see no evil in 
his ways, visceral, quick to hiss at
strangers, cynical of almost everyone,
jealousy in him was always overdone.
Desultory, and all it constituted 
exuberant, only when it suited, 
his needs were opulent, never spare.
Halcyon days with kind deeds unrefuted,
his sonorous purrs were like a morning prayer.

In fluent argot like a profound inchoate
Chthonic patronizing blood paroxysmally folds in curdles
You illuminate none but yourself with a pleasant scapegrace idiocy
Dishevelled and voluble in dark ages of medieval filth

Legerdemain to my vituperate wills and wanders
Anything in purge of the death of proclivity, namely yours
Crepuscular black skies, fugacious and oneiric...you dissolve them

Caviler
Caviler

Abate your breaths...

Speak No Evil

My love for the lady is visceral, sweet, 
Absent of jealousy, immune to deceit.   
Whether near daybreak or crepuscular night,
Her penumbra defeats the ambient light.
Do not cloud my thoughts with your cynical views,
Desultory comments advanced to abuse.
I accept in the halcyon part of my mind
The opulent fiction she loves me in kind.
Thus in ways sonorous, exuberant all, 
Speak well of the siren who keeps me in thrall.

Never alone in the middle of the night
(With me here for you feels like home)
Glare of a shadow in the absence of light
(By your side you’ll never be alone)

A faint distill in the air
(Smiling he falls down to one knee)
A hopeful turn and a distant stare
(Yes she replies with a tear full of glee)

(The miseries of marriage and the joys a new)
A roof over her head and a bed built for two
(Tiss a love story just begun)
And tiss a song and must be sung...
