DIFFERENT SHADES OF BLUE

Shine like a sky 
in this world where you were put on,
filled with different shades of blue. 

Sometimes, it's baby blue 
like the eyes of Maria,
staring directly at you,
like wanting to devour your soul 
or drown you into her fantasy. 

Sometimes its midnight blue,
like your soul is trapped
between night and day. 

Sometimes its blue gray 
when loneliness drowns your soul 
like a swimmer on an endless sea.

But at times, it's royal blue, 
that tells you, you're still the king 
of your own world
or Sapphire blue that makes you see, 
that your world is filled with different gems 
for you to treasure. 

*Title inspired by the song "Different Shades of Blue*
