The sunset speaks

~

 

The sunset speaks the sweetest lore

in amber shades and tangerines

Soft phrases cast this balmy shore

midst syllables of twilight scenes

 

Her words of serendipity,

enchanted thoughts to calm the mind

Now float upon the silent sea

as coastal havens come to find

 

Within her paragraphs they sail

on lines the wind now beckons far

Lone journeys spent of velvet scale

to follow but the brightest star

 

Then as she bids a fond adieu

the moon shall occupy her sky

Until the morning brings her new

and evening waves a warm goodbye

I am definitely on a roll dear Web.. 4th one and now with a nice cappuccino..
This one actually has the feel of a beautiful sonnet.. You have such a lovely way with words.
I see metaphors through your poem..and I love metaphors.
Oh gosh you are going to wake up to at least 5 ~ 6 reviews from me.. hope that isn't too much...
Just can not stop reading... but I will soon because as it is nearly 8am here I need to go practice Chopin on my baby grand..

Interesting, I play piano too. Though I am sure I am nowhere near as good as you are, (can't say read moreInteresting, I play piano too. Though I am sure I am nowhere near as good as you are, (can't say
I have ever attempted Chopin) but I do play and write most of my songs on piano. I don't have a baby grand either, but it is something on my list to one day own. I play a Kawai upright with a Yamaha P-100 electric keyboard. I have had my Kawai for at least 30 years.
Thank you again for your wonderful comments, and please know, it will never be too many.

Oh I am not that good believe me. I started piano when I turned 50 having never touched a piano before... I have always been a good singer so that helps..
You asked somewhere along the our back and forth messages about Texas and Spain... Well, first I lived most of my life in So. California.. in Hollywood, then as an adult on the beach near Santa Barbara... Then, about 12 years ago moved to Austin, Texas to be closer to my daughter, her husband and two girls.. Then two years ago my husband, Bob and I moved to Costa Blanca Spain..
Love it here.. everything about Spain is wonderful..Food, people, air, atmosphere...just everything...

That is fantastic, it sounds amazing there. I live just south of Austin in the small city of Lavernia. Very quaint, very rural and very quiet.

I have been playing piano since I was 5 and you are still probably better than me. : ) I think that is great that you are learning to play. I really don't know where I would be without a piano. I play many instruments but piano will always be my first love.

I only play classical..love Chopin.. and I can actually sight read.. which took me forever to learn..
Bye for now..

Really pleasant and beautiful poem. " Then as she bids a fond adieu

the moon shall occupy her sky

Until the morning brings her new

and evening waves a warm goodbye "
The words are smooth and easy to ingest. Reminds me a bit of Wordsworth or Robert Frost though I am not one to read much poetry. Take care

[willweb]

Thanks so much Brad. I am happy you liked this one.

This was great, its so hard to rhyme and still make sense at the same time Iv'e all but given up on it, but here you have laid down these lines seemingly effortlessly and it certainly doesn't hurt that it's gorgeous as well as perfectly metered. XD

Hey, from one South Texas poet to another...beautiful sunsets are easy to write about when you live down here. Thanks so very much Corset, your nice comments have made my day.

[Corset]

yes, there is nothing quite like that big Texas sky in flames, I'm a bit of a Texas sunset lover myself :D

[Brad Dehler]

Cheers! I just got me a piece of Texas. Cant wait to see those skies of which yall speak.
