Blue Moods

Blue moods,
intertwine in 
the skyline—
a chipped
sapphire's scent 
trailing the 
air; sun's own
dusk— setting in
rising

then rain, 
a cerulean dye 
for my heart's
pallor; rolling 
down pristine 
window panes;
shadows, a 
threnodial 
voice— 

inside blue
moods, time
has no stance— 
only scars paling
in the glass; the
ticking arrow makes

azure whirls of
dust— like frames 
of coma or cold,
around my heart— 
my scream at the 
equinox— and 
its bottled and
bleak memory.

Beautiful imagery, so melancholic and heartfelt. I love the flow of your words and your descriptive wordplay that is so exquisitely woven. You have a way with getting readers to feel your thoughts: and those opening lines as well as how you’ve written “ azure whirls of dust” really stood out for me: great use of colors and nature to convey emotions.

Moods come in many colors, and blue is one that reflects sadness or depression. You've painted this emotion with tenderness and beauty. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy
