Evanescence Poem by Angelina Weld Grimké

Evanescence

Rating: 3.7


You are like a pale purple flower
In the blue spring dusk

You are like a yellow star
Budding and blowing
In an apricot sky
You are like the beauty
Of a voice
Remembered after death

You are like thin, white petals
Falling
And
Floating
Down
Upon the white stilled hushing
Of my soul.

Exquisite romantic love poem, well articulated and nicely penned from inner recesses of the heart, in subtle rhyme scheme with conviction. Beautiful piece of poetry passionately brought forth. The use of sublime simile to drive home purest emotions is both appropriate and poetically remarkable.
