NELLA

 

NELLA

 

 

The scarlet sun is descending in the west,

The velvet lady does shine;

The moon is silent in his nest

And i must seek for mine...

She is like a flower

In god's heaven bower,

With such a silent delight,

That sits etherealy among the mist;

And smile on the night...

In every voice of the rain...

In every time the birds sing her name...

She, whom my heart desires,

Is called with such a velvet name,

As it was NELLA...

I recall that day very well, the very first poem.
If I must say, it was more of a surprise to me than anything else, a lovely one.. and you know the rest.
You know what they say: "once you start, you should never stop".

I love this poem.

You imagery is well crafted: scarlet sun, velvet lady, I especially like the image of the moon as silent in its nest - well done. It has a well defined overall tone and flow that works well with the subject matter. my only suggestion would be to use another word beside "Like" for someone who brings about this kind of feeling in you. Just a suggestion, though. This is very beautiful as is.
Thanks!
