Personal Peace by Andrew S.

As with any artwork, the written form is all about the interpretation of the individual. While this poem is about something, in particular, the true value of it is in what each reader finds in their translation of the passage.

PERSONAL PEACE

Seductive dusk, you are my temptress

Making dreams, cleanliness and romance

A simple dimming of the incandescence

Little by little, from the dying days

Enchanting the tenth phase of each year

Laying out a blanket atop comforting waves

You provide the long living melodies

Orangey hazes, outside my window

While inside, deep inside, is the vision

The dance you fulfill by bringing her to me

From the furthest spot outside of reality

Illusions of magical delusions

Presented to me upon values held dear

Quietly stored, privately in the silence

Controlled and honoured by my own guise

And protected wholly by you, seductive dusk

My world is devoted to you, enamoured by you

Cherish you I do, past or present in life

To capture you each third-quarter

And allow you to define my love and purpose

It is calm, it is spectacular, until it fades

And I long for your return
