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
