Beneath purple painted clouds
grazing honey back lit sky
a single ship on the horizon
atop gently shifting waters
stained with creeping iridescence,
proud beacon silhouetted in the moment.
Witnessing beauty's golden kiss stolen
from her dying daylight breath.
behind the curtains, twilight
waiting with all smothering embrace
welcoming her dark lover
bejeweled night velvet widow.
This lovely sensuous poem captures beautifully the images ambience around a ship at twilight.

ReplyDeleteYou rocked the last stanza here Abby, the alliteration of the sensual w sound just makes it and makes me giddy lol. I'd be sea sick with longing upon that ship ;) Sorry I didn't comment sooner, been offline a lot this month :(
