In the Twilight

Beauty was present before the time
that nature built the tallest walls
the irony of the current day
is the degree of the display

absent makes fondness stronger
with lust lasting far much longer
comeliness is thus recognized
in the vision of the eyes

one would hope that life was fair
to dull the presence of this dare
asking souls to respond
in ways that all would say are wrong

instead beauty carries on
even while life is prolonged
just now seeing what’s been lost
in the twilight of last resolve.
