Dusk falls behind
Glowing in hesitation,
In rapt intent,
I follow and wait.
Wait..
For that magical moment
When day meets night
And the sun romances the moon.
Its but a whisper of an instant,
perfectly opportune,
The unveiling of La Lune.
Crimson amber in flirtatious streaks
Blush in anticipation,
Dallying
in sweet persuasion
ever,
ever so slow.
Seducing the vast horizon
Her shrouded mantle spreads demurely,
Resisting his persistent display
Acquiescing surrender,
In vain, appeals a gentle truce.
“Madam, Till we meet again..”
Relinquishing the day.
Melting embers sink in
Doused completely, dip
Into the blue*.
Peeking from her hooded cloak
The moon smiles, boldly charmed.
Unrobed by flattery, stripping in glittering delight,
Takes the night full reign.
Enveloped in solitary darkness
I was lost at the lateness of the hour
Caught in the spell
of a rendezvous, "en flagrante",
A witness dazed in awe!
NOTE: For the "SEA" I was stumped with choices between "watery ravine", " watery blue" or "blue ravine" . So settled simply with BLUE connoting disappointment, the sea, and disappearing.. any suggestions?
Thanks

The sun is setting
Its getting late
Still I lingered awhile
To watch and wait.
Wait..
For that magical moment
When day meets night
And the sun romances the moon.
Tis a fleeting instance,
Perfectly opportune-
As darkness
Unveils
before light.
Crimson amber in flirtatious streaks
Blush in anticipation,
Dallying,
in Sweet persuasion
ever,
ever so slow.
Seducing the vast horizon
Her shrouded mantle spreads demurely,
Resisting his persistent display.
Acquiescing surrender,
In vain, a gentle truce is met-
“Madam, Till we meet again..”
Relinquishing the day.
Melting embers sink in,
Doused completely,
Dives deep, into the watery ravine.
Peeking from her hooded cloak,
The moon smiles, boldly charmed.
Unrobed by flattery, strips in glittering delight,
and takes the night full reign.
With a sudden start,
I realized
I stayed up much too late
I’ve caught them At
their rendezvous, " en flagrante"
Worth all the wait!
