A Love So Blue That I Can'T Undo

I’ve been forsaken by the threshold
that renounces me from your arms-
Left barren in an azure existence that
we should be living together as one.
Only the few grains left in our indigo
hourglass can relieve this cruel fear.

It is midnight and I am surrounded
by abandonment as Orion and his 
cobalt shield bestows the depth of
the black hole’s infinite darkness.
For the sky is falling and remorse is
calling us…
to ease our debilitated weaknesses.

So, I walk this sapphire universe facing 
all the nothingness the gods offer - and -
I am indebted to you for this blue love.
