Recall.
I chased this evening
evening's fade in sunset clouds,
silver tin-foiled filigree
tied to grey-as-granite mountains.
Tinted skirts of hazy
daytime's late farewell lit night's
ballooning moon parade
painting lonely on this shoreline.
Invasive scarlet swathes
hued day's best forgotten noon
when darker mourning's rain
rolled tearful cascades into gloom.
Drifting in that waning sky
shone memory's azured beams,
pain-shot with lost delight's
shadow now haunting my dreams.
Yet I chased night-time's
grief- demons away by love's
recall when in twilight quiet
his star winked at me from above.

A lovely write Fay. I didn't know what 'azure' was at one time!
Made me think of my own 'nom de plume' dusk arising whilst reading you.
Grief's demons can always be chased away with happier times recalled can't they. "Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket, save it for a rainy day".
Once again you paint a beguiling canvas with your word pallet and caring brushwork's romance.
Ah' indeed.. tis such recollections that mean so very much .. I find the older I get, the more important memories are... this is a most beautiful post and I particularly like your concluding line, which for some reason, made me think of friends and lovers and family members lost..... thank you dear Fay.... Neville
Great work Fay.
