Blue

Last night, I dreamt of you Like a rhapsody in blue Not even Gershwin could compose The way your presence lingered Over me Long after I awoke My dream was brief and faded, quite Like an oldies movie would be But you and I were tinted blue; just Like the rhapsody We were in your office, with no clue How we wound up there I see the zebra-patterned rug, your CD rack against the wall I am sitting on your cozy couch when You draw suddenly near I know you well enough to sense the Music in the background Though it isn't there for me to hear And no one's there to see It when you grace me with your company Lean in, and plant one on me Your kiss is something beautiful that I've felt not once before Your lips were strong and masculine And you held me like a man And when we broke apart, I couldn't Help but ask, "But why?" Then you replied: there was no other Way to bring your love to life Then I woke up all alone in the Dark, with nothing but my Empty sheets to console my lonely heart When you refused to leave my mind, I began to write, because not much can bring Me clarity, and poetry is Sublime I'm sorry if I bring you shame by claiming this little Piece of you as mine I hold it dearly in a mason jar, let it sparkle like A firefly I light it up like a candle and expose Its brilliant flame Burning blue, the fire warms the room And I don't miss you quite as Much With the taste of your dream-self still Dancing on my lips I realize I am safe and sound, not quite Haunted by the thought of you Your fake love keeps me almost satisfied Colors me blue until the morning
