In a mandolin air of twilight Neo-colonies blinking our relations Self-proclaimed, velveteen night sky In a womb of poignant silence So obscurely intangible, seductive notions grinned Discovering the womanhood in my ocean’s twin Golden swells, trusting flares, explosive lights In the mandolin air of twilight You must have felt my evenhanded sighs We measured unimportant words…like frantic interrelations Coupling perspective, colorlessly outside animations Like brown November, laboring off time’s cool air Romance was opened, outside the hour glass gone by We needed slow walks home alone warmed in lullaby Rhinestones sounding down our expressions Trances in hiding places only lovers gain possession We stumbled like spiraling moths Two stepping morning’s pure day cloths At first we didn’t notice, those bottomless coins of May Circling in the arms of imagination, hungry for Monet You in my head like an apparition…fanning our first city Foreign at origin, we stole the essence, leaving our bodies Naked… In the mandolin air of twilight We shelled moments pivoting down our necks Only now, brighter now…we know an elegant mischief Drifting into childhood like a lion free and untamed Ravenous potential. Silver lined holidays Beyond something of luminous human desire Our spirits cupped romantic democracy shouldered In the mandolin air of twilight We whispered each others names In the mandolin air of twilight All else never mattered the same |

In the mandolin air of twilight We whispered each others names In the mandolin air of twilight All else never mattered the same Lee, I love this ending. It's very beautiful.  Hugs  Ethel |

LeeJ Your abilities surpass the object and brings literacy to question. Just present the flower.  |
