The evening sky unfolded in soft Neapolitan colours, and with it came memories, tenderness, and the quiet echo of a vow once spoken.



Neapolitan Sky
Twilight’s sentimental pink sky
Triggered old memories behind my eyes
While the horizon’s creamy eiderdown
Composedly kept me calmly bound
Then dusk’s velvety edge
Reminded me of our pledge
From the moment our togetherness found its start
We whispered our promise — “’Til death do us part”
“All rivers journey to the sea,
so let your heart rest peacefully —
I know she’s now free.” … Ivor Steven © May 2026
