Battle.
Settling mysterious glow on late
sky's afternoon show
Phoebus hazily parts blown veils
on early twilight's face
by pushing her fading round bulk
between striated clouds.
Rays beat moon's rising attempts
to end day and outpace
dying light's race by interference
when sun shines again
from behind each vestige of grey.
Desiring to taste more this defiant
spread of victorious
display as empty beach beckons
I drink shades of linked
battle between daylight and dark
as moon winks at stars
to bid blue goodbye in apt finalé
then old Sol sinks.

Grateful for your visit and in-put to Battle my kind and generous friend.
Great write Fay
Thanking you muchly and more dear Michael.
I really appreciate the gentle rhythmic sway of owned brilliance in all your writes Fay!
it's in the coaxing gentle lull of those trademark early lines,
as if: they know this work will be wonderful and they need not rush to grasp at foraging hands and eyes, those that can feel poetry will know - they are in the presence of pure poetic authenticity as the stanzas unroll and your words seep-in - ever deep,
Well my heart fills with gratitude for this generous comment and the biggest of thank yous for your visit and read. I feel honoured and blessed that you value my versing efforts dear friend.
I agree with Mek, all your works
Are unique and brilliantly written
And I really appreciate your visit and read - - many thanks D.
