Notes About The Poem

Blue Thoughts of You

Blue Thoughts of You
Here I’m sat gazing into space
Picturing that magnetic face
It’s been so long since your goodbye
Never knowing the reason why.

Suddenly the bubble had burst
Ravaged dreams unseen and unheard 
Expired entrancing romancing 
Ending magic moonlight dancing.

Lovebirds forever, I believed
Till finding your love had deceased
My heart’s broken beyond repair
I wonder if you even care.

Do you envision me in dreams
As I do you in sleepy scenes
Or look back on our love story 
A sweet souvenir of glory.

It’s arduous to face each day 
The darkness never fades away 
If only we could turn back time
That once again our souls entwine.

There'll never be another who
I could gift my devotion to 
You're the guardian of my heart
Even though we are kept apart.

Despite pondering where you are
To me you are a super star
Glistening brightly, fervently 
My other half eternally.

Bill Baker October 28, 2022 at 8:28 AM Lovely choice of painting, Belle, an exquisite poem you've penned. The thoughts of not knowing why are the cruelest in my humble opinion. To not know why lets a mind think the worst sometimes. I hope this isn't you, but if it is, I pray God will get you through. It's still better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. Hugs, Bill Beryl Edmonds October 28, 2022 at 11:35 AM Dear Bill, thank you so much, the poem is fictional written for the painting only. I have seen breakups happen and the heartbreak that comes with it, though sad it’s sometimes inevitable. Hugs back to you too… Belle
