Sunset lovers

They sat by the quietly flowing river;
coming from the east to west,
and saw the sun's reflection shiver;
dancing on each ripple's crest.

 

They decided to sit apart;
lest someone discovers,
their being lovers from the heart;
not mere sunset lovers.

 

Neither he spoke and nor did she
and feelings they did smother,
but with the dusk they silently
came closer to each other.

 

And finally when the sun retreated
and the darkness grew
The lovers were reunited
hidden from the view.

emotions displayed in a picturesque manner.. really interesting one.. esp the idea behind east to west being related to 'sunset lovers'.. nice ending too.. liked it

Soft romanticism at its best! Extra points for the good rhymes. Keep writing.

I found this to be a wonderful poem. It is a very nice idea that I wish I had come up with. the juxtaposition of the movement of the sun and the lovers. Very nicely done.
