A peach of streak
across the sky,
caressed, a bless,
cornflower blue,
liquid lava light
surprise
as yellow steals
the night away
yearning,turning,
satin sway,
tears of teal,
to slap my eyes...

and no, I'm not
the least surprised,
that you would look the other way...

Wow...
Now, if this isn't vibrant imagery, I'm not sure what is...and great (though unexpected) ending! Beautiful job, serenity!

Serenity~
This -

'A peach of streak
across the sky,
caressed, a bless,
cornflower blue,
liquid lava light
surprise
as yellow steals
the night away
yearning,turning,
satin sway,' ....

is so vividly lovely ...
and this -

'tears of teal,
to slap my eyes...
and no, I'm not
the least surprised,
that you would look the other way...'

... so sad.
Love ya'

Wow! Serenity, this is fabulous! The ending is such a contrast to the rest of the poem yet blends so smoothly into it. A masterpiece, in my opinion!

very beautiful.....though it's a shame we get caught up in life so much so that we ignore the ones we love the most....
