Addiction.

Fay Slimm.

 

Addiction.

 

There is but a while during twilight when meet two lovers
and discreetly behind sunset's cover they first
dance around each other's skirt
in russet-sky and then with affection they couple.

 

Sparks fly as Dark embraces the Light for at his touch stars
rush to the scene, blue blushes red at confessed
love, hues melt at such expressed
passion before Dark has to stay and Day departs.

 

Black is the shade which dominates then as waits a silence
with bated breath until descends change to wrench
them apart when rays start searching
and morning breaks loose long bondage of night.

 

Yet when Dark and Light are reunited dawn knows well
it will not be long before Day and Night's goodbye
yet addiction knows time will fly
to next flicker of chance for joy to tie them again.

    Oh fay... sheer delight in reading your piece today. You've done it yet again! "yet addiction knows time will fly to next flicker of chance for joy to tie them again"
    I feel inspired to watch every dawning and dusk to full night - you know i shan't but you do remind me of the beauty we all ignore in our wonderful existence here on earth. Goes into my favourites... top of the list if i can so keep it. Lovely, thank you.

    Sunrise & sunset, God's gift to us all. Awesome write Fay. Like the rays of sunlight, you've cast inspiration on us all. Thank you. ; )

    Reminds me of how my young grandson saw the night as he would say, "Dark came" ... as though it were a separate entity rather than absence of light.
    This metaphor is a beauty, as usual, Fay!

    Fay, I think you are the only person on this planet who can turn sunrise and sunset into a passionate love affair! Great writing.
