Why The Sun Set? Poem by Seema Aarella

Blessed evening for the pair
Crimson twilight, moist sea air
The bachelor sun on his way
Paused to see the affectionate play
Stood watched and envied
Seeing him beside his lady
He reddened more with jealousy
The lover looked and gleamed
Occupied in stealing her glance
Held her hand tried every chance
He had had enough the sun
Silently he slipped and was gone
Depriving light, making her invisible
The lover grinned …..Moved closer
That’s what he was waiting for! ! !
