L'Aubade

Pulling back the hot silken night                                                                      
is the cool morning’s twilight                                                                        
and the dawn of the new song,                                                                  
when lovers knew no wrong                                                                         
The day dawns its lacy skies,                                                                         
as the pastel lingerie gives rise,                                                                     
to the color of a purple haze                                                                              and the sun sets an orange blaze                                                            
Today, lovers must soon part                                                                    
but the romance is as art                                                                  
Separated, only by someone’s perception                                                      
and at the heart, of this conception                                                               
The two are never, exactly the same                                                             
but true love knows no shame                                                                     
and it dawned on me in truth                                                                         The color of love is its own proof                                                            
                                                                     7/22/2018
