Twilight

no - not yet light, linger breathe a little let day be undone and quietly unfold kiss me in hazy shadow entwining beneath amber fires for love is tender in silhouette with whispered hush of setting sun on skin spellbound as saffron sky fades to navy surrender sighs like the evening breeze to the velvet of night-time's touch twilight, I am a-tremble light teeters on the edge silver-tongued stars sing soft serenade soothing to dusk draped dreams

Di11y, you have a strong emotional connection to things in your poetry. It's quite a gift to be able to express things like this. Much appreciated.

So kind of you to say Duke, I try and throw myself into whatever it is to have a look around to enable me to write. It's definitely more about words feeling like poetry than looking like poetry for me. Thanks for your support :)

Dear DD, This is beyond breathtaking, it doesnt just flow with exquisite alliterations and creative word pairings but also with such soul stirring emotions that left me in awe! So many words in this stood out for me like "hush of setting sun on skin" "spellbound as saffron sky fades to navy" " silver-tongued stars" only few come up with such wordplay! Youve really nailed this one and impressed me, and the ending leaves a dreamy feel to it, just beautiful! Thank you for joining! Congratulations on your top win! Sending you light always! A fave it is

Thank you so much Ink, such flattering feedback! I'm just in Spain and can only just see my screen lol but didn't want to not reply to your kind words. I spent several days tweaking this one as it felt a leap in terms of my usual style. I'm so pleased it landed well for your contest. An etheree can be quite a driver for emotional content :) a fave too! I'm delighted :) thank you so much!
