I watch and wonder
as the sun sets.
Where to it goes
before it sinks?
When it hides itself
behind the clouds,
for a fraction of time,
where to goes the sun?
♥
Perhaps,
too overwhelmed
for parting with its lover.
Solemnly,
it kisses the sky
behind the clouds
before it bids adieu
before it finally sinks.
~~~~~
On countless evenings, I have noticed it. And have found myself curious.
‘Why does the sun hide behind the clouds before it sinks?’
And I wrote on it.
But the title’s a makeshift as I’m lost for a befitting one.
Any ideas for a better title?
What do you think of ‘Sun’s Secret Affair’?

Maybe we can say it in other way,it’s hiding behind cloud because of shy while seeing you.soo the title would be ” sun’s blushing”

Yeah. That’s a nice take too.

To change the title and in its lieu
why not think of rendezvous.

Such a romantic poem, the feel of mystery and the thought of never knowing. It transcends the hard science and feels like it comes from an earlier time. I think the title works just fine my friend.

Just how have I missed you! Without getting to know what you feel, it feels just so incomplete. Truly!
I will never really know what mood I was in when I conceived the thought, but I was happy with the outcome nevertheless. The title looks fine to me too, now that my heart’s settled with the gracious comments of so many of my friends here, including yourself.
How’ve you been buddy?

Ah, you honour me, my friend! I like the enigma of writing, what do we feel as we write, we are so wrapped up in the feeling we don’t know, yet is cascades through us with intenseness as we create.
I am doing well, living the life of a hermit when I can and reading as much as possible rather than having a social life. I prefer it.
LikeLike
I can imagine it better now that you mention it, J. About the intensity that wraps us when we crave to write when we feel things and never wanna miss. The upcoming piece of poetry took the good of me. And I can’t say I’m truly fully happy with it, but at least it captures what I want to say – which is what I feel when I write.
Hoping that makes sense.
Ahh! I would glad swap places with you – to live as a hermit. Too overwhelmed with things at present. It’s reading that’s keeping me sane.
