Clouds spread
Soft ivory thighs
Sun thrusts powerfully
Through cleft
Colors burst forth
Crescendo of crimson hues
Decline in intensity
Sun withdraws
Sinks under fading sheets
Moon curious
Golden rises
From velvet bed
In the east
A sigh of the sky
And all is still
Interesting nature piece that is also symbolic and can be thought of as a sexual union happening between a man and a woman. Nicely done. Love the imagery.

Sensual look of sky--this is a brilliant piece of lit., thanks, Regis. I love the feel of this one.
Love this piece. Title caught my eye right away. Picture is lovely too. Thanks for the warm welcome. I just got on here last night but will surely come back to browse through and read some more. Wish I could speak French. <3

Very erotic and suggestive. This is a cool poem and I like the French version too. I have poems like this in German. I will post one soon. Great stuff.
Hi Regis, I see you're a morning person, too, eh? We can learn so much from nature, can't we. Will be reading more... trying to catch up, if that's possible.
fine essense of natural affection, you have a poetic intercourse with mother nature

ah beautiful, sensual, and perfect for the captured vision that God created for that moment when you saw it and was thus striken by the secret truth of sky and earth meeting.
been off my computer 47 days so this is first time i could come reply to the wonderful comments you left me for a couple of my own poems, thanks ever so much, Regis
I wish I had kept up with my H.S. French. I can get a few of the words. So much more musical in that language. Even in English I like this evocative, capturing style of word painting...
Thanks for the Sunrise...

Reg, Sorry I'm late getting here. But on Julianza's recommendation
that this is the sexiest thing she's read since... Well, my friend,
I have to endorse Julie's exquisite taste...sexual and sensual, and the most beautiful sunset I've ever read. I must brush up on my French. And be sure to take a closer look at the next sunset, though sadly the sun RISES over the eastern sea. Wonderful, Reg, poetry as
it should be writ. -gene.
Damn, Regis! This is the sexiest thing I've read since Gene Williamson's Afternoon by the Sea. His is more subtle of course. But anyway, this reminds me of something -- wait who is it -- author of -- I think it was Maurice Sendak said that there is nothing in the world that is NOT sexual. There is a difference between sexual and sensual, but your poem is both. I also read "Ballet" and am very impressed. You didn't even need a painting with this poem. It is already a painting. You see? Sex is not naughty. it is simply the way of the world, it pervades nature and we are nature. It just takes a poet to make that very clear. julianza
This is a beautiful feel in well-put analogies combined with a title that can't help but draw you in. I wish I had your bilingual talent to appreciate it in French, Regis....Jerry

A beautiful image of a sunset, woven into the fabric of what we understand and feel so deeply as fellow human beings.
And the poem does the photo justice. I like the red/orange hues of the sunset and the rising moon becoming brighter as the sun sets. Thank you for sharing.

An amazing write, Regis. The poem's imagery is every bit as powerful as the photo. On one hand, the photo - what everyone can see. Then the poem - what only the true artist can see. There's a special balance there. Coupled, the imagination can soar. Love and Hugs,

Never thought of it that way before, but it sure is an awesome sight, which lets you in......It's so personal.
Love it in the French too, :)

Such a beautiful poem with a peaceful feeling. And I've always loved French, it's such a romantic language. You're some photographer. That' breathtaking.
Oh wow! Very impressive photograph! Wonderfully soothing and gently moving piece....

Wow, Regis. What an unusually provocative title. It matches perfectly with the substance of the text--strong images that wash over the reader in a wave of feeling. Well done, my friend.
How absolutely beautiful for you described the pic so elegantly with brilliant words of a poet. Well done. Did you go out to dinner afterwards? Love, Bonnie
Very beautiful, Regis, both photo and poem. One of my favorite natural wonders is a dramatic sunset...well described here...
Always the best to you and yours,
