'Aubade - To Love', painting by VIVA Anderson,
WINNER - contest..COLOURFUL ABSTRACT REFLECTIONS, 03/04/22
β¦β¦..
1st place in the What's the Buzz Form and Formlessness contest, is my abstract expressionism cityscape .. Ode to Lovers parting at daybreak, ...or......forever.......an aubade. Celebrating Romance in all its glorious colour, in the abstract. .
"Souls combined together whole,
a story in itself be told
rising into breathless heights
...silver fire....day and night."
Anon.
'An aubade is a morning love song (as opposed to a serenade, which is in the evening), or a song or poem about lovers separating at dawn. It has also been defined as "a song or instrumental composition concerning, accompanying, or evoking daybreak". Wiki
April Aubade
by Sylvia Plath
βWorship this world of watercolor mood
in glass pagodas hung with veils of green
where diamonds jangle hymns within the blood
and sap ascends the steeple of the vein.
A saintly sparrow jargons madrigals
to waken dreamers in the milky dawn,
while tulips bow like a college of cardinals
before that papal paragon, the sun.
Christened in a spindrift of snowdrop stars,
where on pink-fluted feet the pigeons pass
and jonquils sprout like solomon's metaphors,
my love and I go garlanded with grass.
Again we are deluded and infer
that somehow we are younger than we were.β
Aubade - The Sunne Rising -John Dunne.
Busy old fool, unruly Sun,
Why dost thou thus,
Through windows, and through curtains, call on us?
Must to thy motions lovers' seasons run?
Saucy pedantic wretch, go chide
Late schoolboys, and sour prentices,
Go tell court-huntsmen that the king will ride,
Call country ants to harvest offices,
Love, all alike, no season knows, nor clime,
Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of
time.'
