Dusk right before dark is my favorite time of each day <br />The dim light feels as if I am only in this world halfway <br />Right then it is time for shadows taking over the light <br />And colors fade slowly to shades of black and white <br />Sometimes I see the sun bathing all in an orange glow <br />And I wish I could touch the heat before it let go <br /> <br />During dusk I want to have you close and not be alone <br />In the fading light your features turn to marble and stone <br />Right then I want to bring back life into each inch of your skin <br />I want to touch you and feel your strong heartbeat within <br />Gently I want to glide my hands over your neck to your chest <br />Feeling gatherings of hair against my palm if you are undressed <br /> <br />The light of dusk kindles a low fire and put sparks into your eyes <br />Right than I love to be close to you and renew our strong ties <br />That time of day brings a natural melancholy to my heart <br />And I am most responsive when you are gentle with me to start <br />I know you rather see me passionate demanding and strong <br />Therefore I want to say thanks for running with my mood along <br /> <br />© 2011<br /><br />Kristina Louisa Carr<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/before-dark/
