Bluewing Falling

Her magic is drawn from an ocean's million hues reflecting boundless skies slain by her trembling perfection you grab hold of her to save yourself and you do not mean her any harm you just want to feel what azure feels like to experience the depths of cerulean but her cobalt dust rubs off all over you your being indelibly indigo stained as the beauty you wished to possess lays crushed at your feet July 13th, 2018

Wow! Thank you Faraz! I didn't know it had soared to #2 :)) Thank you for the fave! I'm really pleased with this piece, it got an n/a in the contest it was written for, goes to show ya how subjective our art is. It's the occasional contest that seems to bring out the romantic side I usually hide ;) A wonderful day to you my friend! xomo
