As we stood beneath the sky fading away
Billions of stars shone and led the way
And Aurora Borealis graced the night as if to say
Every darkness has its beauty that can’t be seen in the day  

Looking high above the twinkling stars
And faraway from the bustling city cars
You held my hands with eyes reflecting lights
Amazed by how the glints showed your world to new heights  

We were left alone in a wide clearing winter
Yet the bleak feeling never seemed to fester
Maybe because we never thought it would be
Or could it e because you’re the one beside me?  

With hours that seemed  like minutes, time flew fast
It never struck as we were left in awe that seemed to last
Stars gently floats above with infinitesimal actions
Which to me, clearly makes a better therapeutic session  

As the northern lights glide through the night,
You laid a kiss on my cheek that seemed to mark the side
Then a meteor passed, and your smile flew high
Thankfully, we stood beneath the twilight sky

You told me that life would be so much more
if I weren't so blue. 

Then you touched me,
and we were slowly embraced
by an enthralling lilac sky with all of its hues.
With you, life indeed became beautiful and true. 


But darling, you didn't tell me that even the beauty has its due.
You didn't tell me that the sun would go down
dragging you. 

.
In the falls of the eventide, you left me without saying goodbye.

Help me to be unafraid of that armed and brutal introspection that marches ever closer, advancing, just ahead,
Walk me to the entrance of that terrible twilight, then allow me never again to be led,
Make me the captain of my sorrow and yearning, I am the rightful heir to my own head,
Permit me be bold in my eternal learning, let me sever my loosening inadequacy thread.
When the day meets the night
and the sun greets the moon
Something magical happens
It's over too soon

A moment of silence
A colorful sky
The sun closes eyes
and says it's goodbyes

The moon takes over
and watches the birth
of another beautiful nightfall
falling over this earth!

Isn't it a wonderful world?

At sunset
The sky turns in liquid gold
The trees with forgotten leaves
Promised, new to grow
Orange pinwheel, rolls down the hills
The shadows of the bark, evenly spill
on the grey grained roads
Shining bright and dark
The twilight begins

When that's hand skin
shows up at night
it blooms into the first light.
When that leaves on the day
it reaches out to the stars
from the stairs of twilight!
Day in and day out
a footprint is unfound!

From the usual desires within a store
From the potato chips that don't call for you but still eat
From the shredded cheese that only seems delectable at
2:00 am

There is nothing in this world we wouldn't crave
For we are the ones who have slept through sleepless nights
For we that have been addicted to the nectar that is known as
coffee
And For we that has been blessed with
Lusus Naturae

But remember, That even if we were blessed.
The ill will wish for us
And we shall respond
as it is not our duty to do so

Instead, it is just the cravings that bond our blessings
and that we are one in the twilight

1.  Headlights glowed like cigarette ends in the twilight

2. As soon as they winked out in the warm, weedy field, and the harsh engine noise snapped into silence, I began to cry.

3. Father stepped quietly towards me and I sniffed as I smelled the earth I was digging, the sweat I was dripping, the carcasses I was covering.

4.  Beneath the distant moon Father paused, watching me sift dirt over the remains of two limp goldfish.

5. The morbid scene glittered as moonlight sparkled off my tears and the half-buried scaled.

6.  A small tribute to their salty home.

7.  As if on cue, the wind ruffled the tops of the grain in the neighboring unshorn field; the undulating stalks mimicked the ocean.

8.  Their grave remains unmarked.
