Twilight

Love as the sun disappears over the horizon

Twilight

By Jack Ivey

 

As the evening twilight beckons

With mysteries of shadowed dreams

Silhouettes on painted skylines

Dark and ominous their scenes

 

O’er the wind chilled wintry visions

Cast upon unspoken paths

Lost within our distant memories

A longer cold day’s aftermath

 

Faintly rests the setting sun

Ne’er to lend its dimming light

Strolling down the wooded realm

Fondly this December night

 

Woven branch filled fascination

Dancing with the silent breeze

High above this winter playground

Whispering throughout the trees

 

A hint of pine this chilly night

Subtle in its simple stance

Fragrant comes the evening lyrics

Nature’s song of true romance

 

Dusk is but our magic haven

Quiet so, it gently flows

Soft and surely undetected

A canopy of love that grows

Twilight as it shows your eyes

Hauntingly their beauty peers

Bringing life so full within me

After longing many years

 

You are my soul this twilight journey

Mystic skies they form above

Right before the night has risen

I find you, my perfect love

Y

I need a printed version of all of your poems and a yellow high light pen...just saying ;-)

Too much beauty in this piece to choose just one or two spots, though, really...this one would be saturated in yellow.
