Blue
There are times like these
When the blue is almost blinding
Suffocating
I am tired and I just need a place to sleep
Sleep so I don't have to spend more time chasing the other six Colours of
The Rainbow
I see blue in the sandcastles I built
Wet sand between your toes
Wet sand inside your eyes
Wet sand that comes crashing down with smack of my hand
It comes crashing down with a fury
It comes crashing down with a grin
Not a tear
Not a smile
It's all blue
I see blue in the sun streams glancing off water
A pint of water perhaps, a pint of devilish heaven
And still the tidal waves roar
Untamed in their heaven
Unrest in my bones
I see blue in the lost islets
On the horizon
In the dusky lights they appear to me
There is almost nothing between us
I can reach out and grab that piece of blue I can keep
But there are
Miles and Miles between us
I see blue in the notion
That I have created something I can't keep
Deepened spaces I can't breach
And changed the person I am supposed to be
Blue is the Colour for
Me
