Celestial Blue

CELESTIAL BLUE

     Reaching mountain top at sea side
    we swam and sank into celestial blue
     gazing at azure sky embracing aquamarine ocean
          in cyanic horizon.
     Crowd of clouds turned turquoise on sundown.
      Indigo twilight blending in teal mist spreading celadon shades.
     Cerulean ambient in patches of prussian hues.
    Ripples of tarn on cobalt rock reflecting cat's eye glow.
     Your eyelashes on lapis lining. 
    Your sapphire eyes glistened in my lavender love.
     Evening merged spreading viridian veil.  
     Periwinkle stars twinkled.
