'Retard The Sun With Gentle Mist' Poem by Keith Shorrocks Johnson

'Retard The Sun With Gentle Mist'

Rating: 4.0


Let me watch you walk on alone
The dawn is rising, darkness gone:
The day will bring a closer death
And both must take a lesser path

‘Retard the sun with gentle mist
Enchant the land with amethyst'
That we may sip and taste again
The anise dew and absinthe rain

But as you turn to bid farewell
Invoke the amaranthine spell
That we may drink in day-break's care
And not be taken drunkard there.
