As the Sun Sets on the Sea With its reddish glow And orange hues... The day shades in for me Awakening the Night of Darkness Within me...
And the setting Sun On the horizon Beckons me Nearer to it As if asking me To seek shelter In its radiant warmth And magnanimous Splendor...
Yet when I see The swirling waters Of the Sea... With their myriad colors Reflecting the Setting Sun's Evening Glory - I remember that It is all a mirage For the very same Sun Inviting me in with all Its Grandeur - Can Scorch me dry On one of those days When it is bright and shining In the clear, blue sky.
So I see it, Cherish it From far-away... I love the sun setting On the Sea It is a lovely sight for me Every day Yet - I always revert back To my night of darkness When the sun sets in Even if it is lonely and Shadowy out here...
I still prefer The coolness of the night The bright, starry delight Of the sky and the stars And in that darkness - That still, somber mood Of being alone, solitary And so very lonely... The tears in my eyes Speak to my Beloved Sans any words Nor any letters Yet feelings galore Dreams aplenty...
The beautiful Moon with its subtle grace Takes the place Of my messenger of love. In its blue moonlight I bask and ask - Questions aplenty To my Beloved.
And I wait and I wait For the answers to come Drifting by... Like the soft evening breeze And the cool night air Rejuvenating me, Arousing me Teasing me Making love to me... Revitalizing and Refreshing me - From lands afar, Across the miles Over the seven seas.
Like a clandestine affair Of the Night Amidst the stars and the sky Where I laugh and I cry With You In my Fantasies... Like it happens every night When the Sun goes down And ushers in the Night - And Yes - The Witness Of this night long Love affair... Fantasizing without a care - Remains my messenger of love : The eternal Moon With its blue moonlight.
