The sun was about to set
When the darkness swallowed it
And the blood of the sun gushed on the horizon
Then a hand out of many hands of the dark

A very powerful write on sunset. Amazing imagery. A fellow poet on PH recommended it. I thank him because it's a must-read poem. Great work.

Hi Afrooz, I enjoyed reading the poem- I have read an ancient sanskrit shloka (though I an unable to recollect it) , picturising the sunset (Sandhya) as the parting of lovers sun and earth and sun sheds his blood unable to bear the separation, though it is for a few 'pahars'. Your poem reminded me of it. Beautiful. Excellent image expressed in most suited phrases. I would invite you to read a poem by the same name posted today in ph by my friend, Ms Nosheen Irfan. Thanks.

Whoa! I love poems about sunsets....but I've never read one where the sunset was alive and reached out. This is a really cool poem. I felt your pain. Very well done.

Afrooz, your poem is intense and heartfelt, tenderly touching the silence of the heart. In your second line, the word, dark I think would sound better as darkness. When the darkness swallowed it. See what you think. Thank you for sharing, RoseAnn
