Sun-Down Poem by aryaindia india

to the line at the horizon that increases my sorrow


Sitting on the edge of a cliff
I look far ahead where the sea meets the sky
The sorrow in my heart breaks anew
For I gaze yonder into the space
Where the sun is slowly consumed by the sea
I wish not to see this amazing scene
As it spells darkness around soon

Yet, the very splendour of the event
Lures me to absorb the orgy unconditionally
I stand up to turn away hoping
That the dreams I nurture close to my heart
Will continue to unfaze my being
For it takes only minutes to make or break
My aching heart that drools at sundown
