Sweet embellished rose of twilight sight <br />The paint of the sunshine that comes to rest <br />When blue sky returns to the starry night <br />And opens its many twinkling sighting crest <br />Strangely I watch you in painter's drowsily <br />Journeys of stars that fall to day's memories <br />To be forgotten in space - abysmally <br />Little twinkling fires of yesterday's batteries <br />Half awake I watch these ghosts of memory <br />Like fire from love's forgotten youthful kiss <br />Full of mystic not touched by discovery <br />Their eternal deeps in the dusky bliss <br />Like to the life each twilight comes to call <br />When twinkle fiery eyes upon the night fall<br /><br />Peter S.
