Twilight

gerrylegister

My heart was racing towards the sunset, 
which stood with misty colors like rainbow, 
painting a poster of people walking straight, 
along the canal in a melancholy row. 

To this enchantment I became reminiscent,   
serenading love in the gloomy moments of twilight,   
Reality came amidst the youthful testament, 

To stir my heart with pleasure and delight. 

Engaging dreams reflecting the twilight, 
the truth about emotion almost touched oblivion, 
Whiles caught in a net by the estranged light; 
I toiled hard to find comprehension. 

And found familiar joy upon a gondola ride, 
parting waves stripping like pieces of rags, 
Roaming along the glassy water path we glide, 
Time share recluses and recurrent laughs. 


Fading light took disguises under red sky reset, 
reflection release pain into the sea of memory, 

Closing the day walled up inside the sunset,
and found no place to hide and shelter reality. 

Relief mopped the creasing of my brow, 
until within the flickering path night cross, 
the watery snow to find the eternal vow, 

Retreating with the atoning kisses.

    Very fascinating, especially with the picture beginning it. I LOVE the romantic twilight of a warm evening, so this offers a very different, interesting poetic perspective to consider.
