Sunsets Fire

by Deana   Mar 31, 2009


Sunsets Fire

Fire from the horizon
Burns my eyes and soul
As does the body I lean on
Relinquishing control

Sunset, a citrus fruit
cut in half to share
Feel the oceans soft caress
whispers in the air

daffodils touch shoulders
swaying gently to and fro
butterflies stop to kiss
evenings seductive glow

Lying there , as morning breaks
Two lovers fast asleep
pastel sky,recalls and sighs
Sweet secrets she will keep.

    "Fire from the horizon
    Burns my eyes and soul
    As does the body I lean on
    Relinquishing control"
    `Great beginning and a strong flow.. already I can see a tint of imagery in your words.

    "Sunset, a citrus fruit
    cut in half to share
    Feel the oceans soft caress
    whispers in the air"
    `I loved the idea of the sunset being a citrus fruit! What a interesting metaphor, kind of also brings out the beautiful colors and imagery you get within this sunset.. beautiful oranges and yellows. Gorgeously written.. and in a very unique way as well. Well done.

    "daffodils touch shoulders
    swaying gently to and fro
    butterflies stop to kiss
    evenings seductive glow"
    `This stanza was overflowing with beautiful imagery.. such beautiful nature incorporated into this piece.. loved the last two lines.. they bring forth the whole "love" mood. Great word choice.

    "Lying there , as morning breaks
    Two lovers fast asleep
    pastel sky,recalls and sighs
    Sweet secrets she will keep."
    `This is so romantic and beautifully written. "pastel sky, recalls and sighs" - a little bit of personification here, I liked it!

    Well done, a very well penned love poem incorporating the beauty of nature as well. I think love and nature tends to go hand in hand very nicely.

    Well done.

    5/5.
