The Setting Sun

Another love poem .. inspired by the sunset last night and the beautiful company ...

Slowly as the setting sun drips pink across the sky…

I look into those liquid eyes which make me want to fly

I count up all those blessings that are now bestowed on me

And walk across my soul, which is sailing on the sea

I feel the wind of freedom as it drifts me into space

And think of all your beauty... your loveliness and grace

For time will never stop the love that we both share

And every day upon this earth our lives we’ll fill with care

So take my hand my darling, and walk along the shore

Experiencing such happiness you’ve never felt before

And let your heart sing loudly of the joy which love has brought

After all those lonely years when it was only sought

I offer you my friendship with love so full inside

As slowly now you walk to me with arms so open wide

And when our lips meet passionately.. desire will overflow

Our future spread before us …with all our love to show….

phil, beautiful work here, the imagery is written to heightened effect, smoothe rhyming,
the flow itself presented a graceful feeling of being, caught in the moment, as well the colorful
details capture the setting sun with artistic effects, and that being how you were able to
brush the entire blisfful scenery upon the readers mind, tracing a golden line presented in
full detail, "liquid eyes" very nice metaphors employed, imaginative, exquistely rendered
