Beyond The Sunset
Radiance ruptured the firmament elsewhere
Blessing the unruffled western seas and oceans
A delightful emblem of stairway to heaven
As the shade of darkness creeping everywhere
Along the magnificent face of twilight
Where the sun is pulling along the drapes of night
Lazily burying its luster, spreading the shroud of dusk
Emotions framed my eyes, captured my nostalgic vibes
I see fine reflections of me arousing all certainty
Like sky’s mirage, nature of beauty to the sea
My blue almond eyes are on fire,
Feeling wet as pearls budding on one side
I witness the velvet haze in crimson shower, red-hot
As it meets the cold zephyr shivering my veins
Twilight is creeping struggling for gold
I see myself beyond the sunset where my future unfolds
O what a splendor, what beauty it paints does in its image
Beyond the sun, beyond the sky there are sands of time
I'm dreaming of bright tomorrow on the depths of the ocean
Half-journeyed, half-forgotten looms the vision in my mind
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go! Beyond the devouring twilight,
Time shall say the ruins of yester nights
Sojourn to rest......... O dear sunset on the mist of sea
Shall I stride where winds will take my feet
Yet.........shall I build pillars
Imprinting goodwill on clouds and trees
Go! Bravely beyond sunset O dear
Go! Not worrying darkness on fields
Twilight shall soon shake hands with dawn
Where fresh morning dews shall bless all leaves
Spreading balms of spring fragrance, so sweet
An insignia of bright morrow on the glorious break of dawn
`I see myself beyond the sunset where my future unfolds'.... I love this line for,with patience, there is a great future beyond sunset.An excellent poem.
Beautiful poem, explicitly expressed!
Yet.........shall I build pillars... make it strong one to last long....nice composition

Such a talented poetess
Some poems take us there, and this poem is one of them.
hi dear! All i would like to say is, amazing this one! truly poetic eloquence!
HI CATRINA , You have painted a beautiful picture which oozes melody too ! -Raj
Such skill with words. I am taken aback by the pictures you have painted. Well done
I loved the extravagant language you have used in this poem. In a way it is like reading a poetic version of a J.K Rowling's novel. The expressions are filled with that magical air which take the reader to a seventh heaven, away from the bitterness of reality. Thanks for this one :)
Bravo.
What an ode to nature you sing, Catrina. I am drowned in the beauty of these stanzas. Your poems always touch the heart and soul.
Beautiful poem... wonderful images with a reflective and preceptive tone.
One of the loveliest verses I ever read, magnificent, adorable, delightful, marvelous...a master piece...you're indeed one step beyond the sunset. Perhaps I'll add this piece as one of my favorites.
This one had me thinking and both,envisioning,cloudy night times meeting with a moon lit sky. Great poem. God bless us all-MJG.
Catrina this sings a beautiful melody in each of its stanzas - - and the phrases used give a stunning overview of your talent - - especially liked the "sun pulling along the drapes of night " . A splendid example in metaphor of first class order.
very good... well patterned/formed/constructed... well done!
bright beautiful words
Just loved it my dear! Keep it coming...
