The Moon at Sunset by Bill Gracey

Corners of Dusk.

Now light sinks into hibernation rays of sunshine
become as pallid
as faded love affairs,
unhappened mystical changes then muster
for roll-call by spreading
moon's taste into the corners of dusk.

A pale crescent glow pervades the bowl of misty
crushed-velvet above,
as cool beams
from pearl moondrops bleed ice into the remains
of sunset, like a white
avalanche dusting lunar-flakes over day.

Scent of moonbeams preparing for flight ignite dark,
and sunset now conquered,
the light has to retire,
bleeding wounds seep red streaks over paling
blue as moon takes power,
for after tasting first-fruits she intends reigning.

expressions that please the heart , images that steal the show and the flow that can put a young river to shame . the verses are grand and mindblowing ... 1. Moon's taste...dusk - this is really a treat to the poetic senses . a visual delight . 2.moondrops .......day.another stunning verse that would make the most poets jealous of your capabilities .... 3. the final stanza is again a master stroke of your pen that's full of creativity ...
