Reminds me of working in an old folks home and watching the delirium of the aged as their eyes sometime blazed, I suppose, with the life of their memories.

The purple clouds were liver spots.

Treischel-
Not that I know anything about poetry, but I did enjoy this.
Two questions about this line - "Tis then the time that dreamers wile away, - Perhaps an apostrophe rather than a quotation mark before Tis, and don't folks "while" away the time? Anyway, don't take my word for it, but might be worth looking at.

    Thanks JB. Yes, you are right about the apostrophe. I didn't notice that. Thanks.

Hi, Treischel,
"Sunset Passion" is an excellent Shakespearian sonnet meeting the meter and rhyme scheme requirements of the form.
It has beautiful figurative language and imagery. (mellow clouds now purpled pink) The couplet is very good.

This work has reached the exceptional level

The pull of passion's grip is very strong.
Still prayers arise this ardor last most long.

Wonderful Tom. Absolutely wonderful. You did it and did it well. Such an answer to the challenge of matching the end rhymes. Awesome.

Well done for rhyme and meter. The story is nicely told. The following line may be questioned, however:
"The likes of which bard's boisterously sang,"
Perhaps the possessive apostrophe is misplaced.
Anyway a nice effort.
