Sun (Rising And Setting) Poem by soulful heart

Sun (Rising And Setting)

Rating: 5.0


Like a halo around a hidden beacon
Smears the dawning peak aglow.

Like a peeping red-ripe mango
Soars the ball of coppery-molten blob.

Like a burning match in pitch-black
Scans the shadowy canopy of earth.

Like a widening ripple of golden liquid
Spreads vapoury rays of heavenly orb.

Like a phoenix in tis majestic flight
Spans the fiery wings east to west.

Like a burning furnace of a baker's kiln
Sizzles, the mist over roasting flames.

Like a diamond in a glorious crown
Sparkles and sustains every glade of life.

Like a flickering lamp of providence
Slides the edge with smouldering warmth.


Like a Dhobi-ghat with arrays coloured veils
Splashes vast shades riot of lovely hues.

Like a vermilion mark on a dusky dame
Simmers the sphere descending the horizon.

Like a rosy-cheeked baby about to cry
Smothers its breath, turning orangy-crimson.

Like a blown out celestial candle
Shrouds an' vanishes into smoky-twilight.

I like all the comparisons especially the last two! Like a rosy-cheeked baby about to cry Smothers its breath, turning orangy-crimson. Like a blown out celestial candle Shrouds an' vanishes into smoky-twilight. Fabulous! !

Like a diamond in a glorious crown sun glows with in brown. Sun shines with little more. Shines in far the sea shore.
