Echoes of Brilliant Blue

As the blue bird called me to the pink ship
I then lived on an island with dry sands
I wasn't in a mood to let the chance slip
Looking at the crimson waves of warm life
I wished to taste the salt of human strife
In dazzling dance of swimming feet and hands
The sweet sounds of murmur from lip to lip

Answering the blue call I swam with joy
Normally I don't love the rising sea
But the brilliant blue birds that never cloy
Made me tipsy with their crispy stories
Making them my life long green memories
With them I got lost with a bursting glee
An absolute ecstasy, no alloy

Sparkling imagery weaved within the bright metaphor tapestry, Probir. Your poetry moves w/evocative ease. Elevating the senses, your deep thoughts breathe otherworldly. Excellent poem, my dear friend. Love and joy always.
