I. Love. This. Poem. The imagery is wonderful and the concept is amazing! But, just one thing. Even I used to do this before until someone told me: You don't need to begin every line with a capital letter. It just isn't needed unless the previous line has a full stop.
Alone, I stand in the shadowy autumn dusk
#FF0000 ">a sweetness tasted in the air, remains;
And the evening smells of softest, darkest, musk.
To leave this place would break me in my heart#FF0000 ">,
#FF0000 ">but I can longer bear to be apart.
I watch the clouds lay down, on the horizon, #FF0000 ">(Somehow, 'lay down' doesn't sound right here. I think it should be 'lie down'. Or maybe that's just me.)
And start to feel the shawl of night descend;
The reddened countryside, more so, within the sun.
To feel the moons attention turn my way,
#FF0000 ">sends my heart and mind, away to yearn for day.
The house behind me beckons me as well,
#FF0000 ">but I will find no comfort in those arms;
In darkness I wander, farther then I can tell.
I rest myself upon a seat of stone, so cold
#FF0000 ">and I sit, as the days, and I, grow old.
I especially loved the last stanza. No, wait the middle one. Or maybe the first one. Heck, I loved the entire poem! It's beautiful, that's what it is! Keep writing! *Likes and follows*
