Prompt: Write a poem about the picture

He held her hands

He held them tight

All through the day

Until the night

The seasons came

The seasons left

Leaving the lovers

Both bereft

No closer now

Than at the start

Their different times

Kept them apart

He tried his best

An attempt to say

They could be one

Night or day

But in the starlit night

She did belong

Though yearning still

For his sad song

And the sun, though

Warm and bright,

Could never breach

Her barrier of night

With anxious fingers clasped,

Each lover's heart displayed

For an alliance, that was not to be,

And forever apart, they stayed
