Poem: My Lover Walks Between Walls
The longer version of a #poetryprompt on Bluesky. I couldn't fit it within the character count, so this is the original version. The challenge was to write an aubade. "Write an Aubade! "The aubade is a dawn song that greets the morning while lamenting the end of the night, often concerning the parting of lovers." My lover walks between walls between the night sky and the dawn's light As the sun peeks over the horizon and the birds greet the coming day It streams through my curtains illuminates the shadows that protect my poor aching heart the pillow next to me grows cold though his scent still clings to the fabric I lie in the fading warmth tears stream down my cheeks as he is gone yet again but my life goes on
