Awake: An Aubade
©2016 Rosemawrites@A Reading Writer
Glistening warm
golden sun rays
kisses my outer dermis
lightly in haste,
whispers bright luna
has bid goodbye,
bringing with her
glitters of her sky.
Glistening warm
golden sun rays,
tries to dust off
my epic dream’s haze,
tickles the locked
gates of my eyes,
waits for my
sweet morning “hi”.
A poem you
once wrote
when I was still
your life’s
golden sun rays.

In response to Blogging from A to Z Challenge: A is for Aubade
- a love poem, most often mourning the parting of lovers while extolling the coming day.
- constructed at the discretion of the poet, length, stanzaic form, meter and or rhyme. although often a smattering of rhyme is present without any particular rhyme scheme.
gorgeous aubade! What a great way to start off the A-Z challenge! I still have to write mine.
