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.

A powerful and beautiful story in the poem. I like how they separated and in the end. They reunited. Thank you for the amazing poem.

When a poem is like film, it has added power, this poem should be used in school! Which is of course a complement! What pretty myths are born of sunsets, after all!
