Have You Ever ... ?
~*Marge Tindal*~

Have you ever watched a sunset cry,
dripping tears across a twilight sky ?
Caught in prisms of lavender light,
just before she says goodnight.

A mist, so light, that drifts into
the night to fall as morning dew.
To softly dance across the lawn,
toweled again upon the dawn.

Oh, I have seen a sunset cry,
laying her sorrow across a night sky.
Felt the dew so heavy-laden,
awaiting return of morning maiden.

Where upon a tear-kissed flower,
sunbeams danced within dew-shower.
Warmed the gentle lily's bed,
lifting hearts to smile instead.

Next time you watch a sunset,
squint with all your might,
that you may catch her teardrops,
before the morn takes light.

Purple passions torn by sunset, and awe spilled a tear upon the phoenix rising.

~* My favorite lines! *~

And though the tears fell from the sky,
They made me hold my breath and sigh,
For they were not tears of sadness you see,
But gentle tears of love for you and for me.



Simply beautiful Marge - and the presentation had your signature!

yes, to see the purple skies
shed soft rain of velvet sighs
just before the thunder storms
just before a love's reborn

This is breathtaking, Marge...I was swept away with the fantastic imagery!  Beautiful write!  (you know I've got to have this graphic, too!   )

to be with you...
I've tried to hide my passion,
but it's just no use...
piece by piece I lose it
when you walk into the room...

Woe is me... I feel I've betrayed a friend... I'm guilty of becoming so rapt and awed by her beauty, I missed the sorrow. Ah, well... I'd always heard that life wasn't all a bed of roses for the incredibly beautiful, but I sulked in Plain Jane disbelief that dazzling loveliness ever shed tears. *G*

Lovely poem, Marge... perfection in your phrases!

Outstanding use of imagery here Marge.  I haven't been here in so long and all these poems show me how much all of you have grown so much more than last time I was here.  It's been a while, but is still a blessing Marge, as always.  Looks like I have some catching up to do.  LOL
