Muted Blue

I'll hold this place for her loving faintly- fragile, and tepid outer layer veils so thinly a gorgeous core shining bright and quietly Her eyes say more than lips betraying her thoughts as they swirl to intriguing depth. I dive, plunge deeply-secretly wading in thought's waters loving the expanded borders hidden beyond your rippled surface. As birds singing, primp their rehearsed tune, your diamond shines reluctant from realities igneous tomb I wan't to know the words she's trapped in blue fluttering chests locked tightly when nervous posture tells of something more. Hushed often before, and muted now conditioned to repress your heart...it's hard to breathe as you selfconsciously hold your breath Move those lips to mine and whisper each trapped caption your mind froze but never lost, open the soul to feeling once more like blood reddening air exposure freeing the absence of feeling ...replaced with this tuned in euphoria blaring melodies warm and familiar to our ears *Inspired by Nathan's "Diamond in the Rough" contest

Your diction is impeccable... the overall effect of this poem (and it IS SO beautiful) is completely embodied in the title. This poem is going in my official list of all time favorites... I love this "open the soul to feeling once more like blood reddening air exposure freeing the absence of feeling."
