LEAVE THIS SUNSET TO ME By Irma Kurti

LEAVE THIS SUNSET TO ME 

 

Leave this sunset to me, the clouds red

as if they feel guilty; I am sure, the most 

talented painter would not succeed in 

immortalizing on his canvas such beauty.

 

This time I won’t compare the sun to a 

big ball of fire but to a shining eye in 

love, which is trying to enter so gently 

inside its lowered eyelids.

 

I will stay true to its charm, its mixed 

colors of the rainbow, to the chills that 

run through my body and soul, just like 

fingers on the piano keyboard.

  

Leave this sunset to me.
