After the Sunset

Here, I imprison her hands in my clasped cage,
just as Time clasped us with passing age.
I bless her lips with mine heedful approach,
and she bows like the sunflower with the wind’s touch…

If She is dressed just with sunset garment,
the golden flourished crown was the only ornament,
I disguise myself as the nightingale’s chant
remaining in her dream until dawn appears rampant…

Flew the bird with the starry night;
stealing the argent moonlight
exposing the lover’s bare sight…

Oh, Glorious instant of eternity,
preserved in the miraculous melody,
grant to the lovers the solace of serenity!

    Alliteration is nice, and you do it so well. This was a great piece, and your written english is outstanding in my book. So much imagery and vocab to boot. I like intellecual writes that make you think. Great job, and keep it up.
