Short Evenfall Poems

Evening is sweaty
Jasmine is yet to blossom
Cool white lean lissome

Blue mist rises on the lake,
As pale moonlight shimmers
The rippling lagoon with
Faint spectral shadows,
Ebbing slowly to the shore....

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.

As the evenfall advances, Lord Sayron
Reflects alone in the old and dark castle
Where has gone all the magical illusion
Disillusion had won the final battle
Carrying with him the armor and sharp sword 
Abandoned finally his sanctuary
Searching for an answer that begin looking
And listening carefully heart insighting....

J-ust let the Tuesday morn
A-im to share the light;
N-ew day has broken,
E-liminating the night.

A-llow the Monday to pass,
L-et thirteenth December shine;
F-rom dawn till evenfall,
O-pen your heart and mind.
R-ed rays in the blue sky
Q-uest for the meadow;
U-sing their wide warmth,
E-ach one of them is there to glow....

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

In the grains of pebbles, sand and rock
The picture of her aesthetic scar is drawn
Voyaging to dawn,
When the fisherman's net catches
Her pearl of pleasures more
Than large fishes for life
And leisured at evenfall,
When the fisherman strains
Roars of waves rhymes with moon
In hope, delight and vows...
But again,
Lust, pleasure and beauty rein all grin...

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.

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.

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.

Evenfall
       welcomes twilight,
           whereas
              a sanguine sun
                 slowly starts setting;
                  coloring
                   blue skies
                   and white clouds,
                  blood red,
                 or cotton
               candy pink,
            as its dying rays
          begrudgingly give way
        to
ebony shadows....

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.

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.

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.
