TRANQUIL LOVER’S SUNSET For Bridget Farrell
The moon faded in-and-out of mysterious, dusty clouds,
In the coming sunset’s interludes,
As I saw the ocean’s waves swish the soft, elusive, purple sand,
All was quiet as the quietness of the tranquil eyes of two wanting lovers
The evening, moon, sea and dust clouds,
Oh this illusion of lonely beauty was a sensation to my eyes,
Like the mysteries of lusty love fading with the moon,
The interluding sunset came swifter,
With the beautyful loneliness of desiring love,
So mysterious this illusion was to me,
As tranquility of lover’s want in the lonely sunset by the ocean’s sand.
