Dusk

Dusk

A Poem by Audrey Howitt
"

A poem

"

I dream in numinous mist of cushioned clouds

Resplendent in pinks and oranges.

As the sun leaves them

They blush in their ardor

For the approaching night

With its dark perfume

Is their lover.

 

Enveloping each one, wrapping it

In darkness

Buoying each

Until the moon’s eye beckons.

 

And obediently,

They come into silver stream,

Softened-

By a lover’s touch.

The sky is alive, your words bring life to the clouds. I feel as if I am looking up at the sky while reading your words.

' .. cushioned clouds ~ Resplendent in pinks and oranges. ~ As the sun leaves ~ them ~ They blush in their ardor .. ' , those words alone made my imagination tingle and then, even more as I read, ' .. For the approaching night ~ With its dark perfume ~ Is their lover. '

I might just as well quote the entire poem because each word adds a different colour to your quite passionate painting. Bravo!
