Twilight by the Sea

Shailaja Pai posted under PenMuse-06 Poetry on 2019-04-10



Twilight descends bedizened in crimson, Heralding the union of day with night. Is it a battlefield of the heavens Or an artist’s canvas splattered with red? The lazy palms undulate in unison, Acquiescent to the gentle sea breeze. A boat emerges at the horizon, Brimful with the day’s abundant bounty. A peddler winds up humming merrily, The children's laughter echoes and merges With the tidal whoosh at their tiny feet. The birds retreat homeward in synchrony. A blissful couple whisper sweet nothings, Sand between their toes, love warming their hearts. Oblivious to time, lost to the world, Their amour mirrors the red of the sky. __________________________ For more of such content follow us on Social Media:
