Upon the Hour of TwilightUpon the hour of twilight we meet as lovers may along the path that leads into the dark before the day Upon the hour of twilight with fresh and fragrant hair emerging from a daylong sleep I dress to find you there Upon the hour of twilight a gasp when we embrace we dance beneath the rising moon and bathe within its grace Upon the hour of twilight we ache for minutes more for darkling's drape to stay the sky o'er love's forbidden floor Upon the hour of twilight as parting's kiss enthralls we memorize each other's touch til next the twilight falls Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Remind me of the old Platters song, "Twilight Time." Beautifully done and so free flowing, I loved the whole piece very much! |

Upon the hour of twilight a gasp when we embrace we dance beneath the rising moon and bathe within its grace Upon the hour of twilight we ache for minutes more for darkling's drape to stay the sky o'er love's forbidden floor Upon the hour of twilight as parting's kiss enthralls we memorize each other's touch til next the twilight falls ================ ahhhhh this is enchanting my dear poet.. so lovely to see you here today  such a serene and sensual picture you paint here in this gem... perfect C, always... take care jm There are places inside our souls - that have never been touched. There are places inside our hearts - that need to be loved this much. ~jm~ |

Such a gem you have here, Meadowmuse..the darkness and the sensuality and your gorgeous choice of words makes for a wonderful piece of work!  *Krista Knutson* "You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back." -Barbara DeAngelis |

Fantastic. For the rest just look in your thesaurus. Jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |

Meadowmuse this poem is full of tenderness and the beauty of a new love. "A gasp when we embrace. We ache for minutes more. As parting's kiss enthralls we memorize each others touch til next the twilight falls." Really loved these lines...want to experience them...for a lifetime...James |

Claire, So tender yet mysterious to only meet in the twilight. This was full of wonderful images. Nice writing!! Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

In every word one feels the poets softened touch One feels and hopes for so much Enchantingly and so full of sentimence One can see and feel them, there in the darkness where they dance This poem is very sweet and so well done Loved it. I think it should be also in the book, or? L & S P The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |
