Misty Blues

 Oh, trees of once so forest green
now shrouded to me in pale hues
as my hearts reflection of blues
mirrors a lifeless figurine

Pray hide from me sunbursts of glow
for the sky is of mist alone
and where I roam as cold as stone
all thoughts run deep and overflow

Shadowy shaped vapours haunt me
with your gaze of cerulean blue
and if to feel your touch I drew
my hand that longed the touch of thee

All worn paths I fear now to tread
for there are haunting scents of you
that so relentlessly pursue
 a heart that’s already long dead 

 All alone as teardrops of blue
and misty, hazy dreams of you 
float away once more out of view 
forsaking what my heart once knew

Dear Christina, I apologize for not previously acknowledging your beautifully crafted poem that delves into themes of loss, longing, and sadness. Your poignant exploration of heartbreak and solitude, as well as the lingering memories of a past relationship, is both moving and captivating. The emotive language you employ effectively conveys a sense of melancholy and yearning. The imagery you use, including words like "shrouded," "reflection of blues," "shadowy shaped vapors," and "teardrops of blue," evokes feelings of sorrow and longing. Your incorporation of color imagery, such as "pale hues" and "cerulean blue," enhances the emotional depth of the poem.

What to say? Misty Blues, another masterpiece of my beloved Christina. Such a deligh to read!. Nature pain touched with your most profound feelings. I am not giving you my favourite line, because all the lines penned are genuine evoking the poor reality we have about our nature, which is the most important thing we will always have. BRAVO for this piece of art. My love Christinaxxx

A beautiful and haunting poem, Christina ... The Frank Sinatra song, 'It's A Blue World', came to my mind while reading this ...

Dear Christina, What a hauntingly beautiful poem and deeply evocative. The imagery of pale hues and misty dreams perfectly captures a profound loss and longing. Each line is filled with raw emotion, depicting a heart adrift. It's poignant, powerful, and utterly mesmerizing. I love it! - Blessings, Daniel

True to your promise, this is a sad, heart-wrenching poem. Yet I think it is best described as hauntingly beautiful. Bravo, Christina! ~ Lonely, but not forsaken, gw

Your masterly rhyme is great but beyond me. Your theme is popular and well-written. A poem I enjoyed very much despite some sadness.

A perfectly executed Enclosed Rhyme. Your poem epitomises the maxim: Poetry should be felt, rather than understood. FAVing it, Christina.

Your poem beautifully conveys a deep sense of loss and melancholy, using nature and evocative imagery to reflect the speaker's emotional state... It masterfully uses natural imagery and a melancholic tone to explore themes of loss, memory, and the haunting persistence of grief. Its emotional depth and lyrical quality create a powerful and moving reading experience.

Oh gosh Christina, so terribly sad and bleak, but in a beautifully written way. This is classic poetry, an art form that is being left behind in favor of one liner quips that pass for neo-poetry and for which the Insta crowd with it's short little attention span craves. A fave for Tom Woody

This poem is haunting sad it seems to be about someone no longer with us with which can relate to I lost my love in 2005 and still mourn him extra hugs Shadow

Your poem, Christina, quickly seizes attention and plays so sorrowfully in the heart and head...conveys such depth of feeling. There is that conflict between being moved by sadness and the enjoyment in reading outstanding verse...each adds to the experience of why poetry matters and why this poem is a splended example.

Dear chriszy, this is such a profound and poignant quatrain flowing so seamlessly with such deep and raw emotions that would touch any readers heart and soul. The way you’ve phrased your lines and delivered grief and pain is beyond impeccable! I loved so many lines in this especially the opening lines as well as “ Shadowy shaped vapours haunt me with your gaze of cerulean blue and if to feel your touch I drew my hand that longed the touch of thee” the depth of that really hit’s so strong!

Your poem touched me deeply, Christina. I felt deep sadness and grief as I read your words. How powerfully poignant this line was: All worn paths I fear now to tread for there are haunting scents of you. I can't imagine losing my hubby, the love of my life. We share so much...life without him would be empty. Am faving this heartfelt poem. have a great evening, hugs, Sara

What would it be like to never again have somebody you love near you, what pain could I only imagine. This piece, Christina is so beautifully written, I love the way the lines continue flawlessly. And how descriptive, "his gaze of cerulean blue and if to feel your touch I drew" it touches the reader deeply. Melancholy perhaps, but never dull. Congrats on your first video! A pleasure reading your work! Peaceful days to come ~Anaya
