Blue: A Shade of Gray

In my boat with a knife
floating on a silent, blue sea
what a serene beauty
bewitched by the cursed one
my boat is drowning 
the moment's grace to draw the knife

climbing up high to touch the clouds
gray mountains are challenging me
my leg slipped, i'm falling down
the moment's grace to draw the knife

for me blue is a shade of gray
happiness is an illusion 
always ending up in the same old cage
where death keeps a hold on my thoughts 
an inner turmoil that is never at peace
poetry i write 
from every dying fragment of me
