Twilight's Masquerade

Slip with me

Into the velvet

Of the midnight sea

Drift silently

Into the darkness

Of twilight's masquerade

Let the darkness

Caress sweetly 

Melting the abyss 

Float under

The galaxy of stars

Encompassing worlds unknown

Enjoy the magical brew

Sipping gingerly 

On Nature's relief

This has a feeling of mind, rather than body escaping with the one we want to shareour being with, seeing the ocean's unseen beauty in its hidden depths and soaring to the heights of the stars, two essences entwined in all the majesticness (is that a real word?) of the beauty that surrounds us.
To share all that outer beauty, with the one who sees inside of you.
Beautiful.

This is definitely about the beauty of nature during the nocturnal hours. It’s about being in awe and appreciate the feeling it gives us

Beautiful poem! Again, the imagery in this poem is stunning in the way the images are manipulated within the beauty and power of a canvas of words painted upon the edge of moonlight. Excellent poem!

[Poetic Beauty]

I am glad you enjoyed reading this poem. It has been ages since I have danced across the pages of this place.

[SHEEMA HUQ]

This kind of read like the pied piper on a evening stroll, your deliberate use of manipulations worked quite nicely I thought.

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you Poppy. I am glad you liked the imagery.

Sorry if I miss your intent, but I feel like this poem reminds me of skinny dipping in a mountain lake in the warmth of Summer...
The elements of sky and water... Drinking in the night with my lover...
Simple yet profoundly beautiful.

[Poetic Beauty]

You are pretty close to the meaning. To me this is about letting go, disconnecting from electronics and enjoying the world around us. Letting nature relieve our tension. The best part of this poem is each person is taking away their own idea and experiencing something different.

[David Scott]

You have written in enough ambiguity to allow the reader to write their own experience into the reading of your work. This is one reason I enjoy poetry that is not spelled out for the reader.

[Adam M. Snow]

This fits like a dream, I very well enjoyed it.

[Poetic Beauty]

I like to write in a dreamlike state. to me it allows the reader to have their own experience with the poem and to be able to emerge with the piece.

[Adam M. Snow]

Well you've manage to succeed.

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you kindly.

[Adam M. Snow]

You are most welcome, my good friend.

[Joyce S. Greene]

[Poetic Beauty]

I am glad you liked this poem. It has a comfort to it.

[Miss Marlette]

Love and Nature are two of the most beautiful things on earth and you merged them with elegance and flair. Your imagery is stunningly beautiful. I just got lost in it never wanting to emerge ever again. Thanks for sharing.

[Poetic Beauty]

I am glad this poem was able to emerge you into the words spun and it was a pleasant retreat.
