Our Love's Gone Into the Blue

Simmering like a boiling water
My love's evaporated into the blue atmosphere
Where its bones have been scattered
To decay in the beautiful blue sky

Overheating has caused your heart to melt
Into the beauty of the blue, never to return
Escaping into a non transparent mirror, leashed there forever with a belt
Being blinded away from what our love's become

My beautiful butterfly's been swallowed by the blue
Loosing control on it's ride crashing into heaven's infinity
No accident report, only my face staring at the hue-
Of the atmosphere, lacking natures pity

The love we shared had shattered like glass
And the remnant was spread on the breeze, to bury it in the sky
Where free elements will do their will with its carcass
No map can lead you back home from such place that's high

My favorite blue kite has wandered into the thickness of the thin blue
Getting itself hidden forever in hot boiling dew
Being tamed, enslaved and transported by the black cloud
Only for me, after the storm's left; to discover the transparent elegant sky that's proud


Our love's gone into the blue like a stranger
Threatening our world with such danger
When love's left, then this is what's left
A face that stares at you from the blue, and hostility on it is spelt

"No accident report, only my face staring at the hue- Of the atmosphere, lacking natures pity"...wow...there are many intriguing lines throughout...this makes for a very deep verse, full of color and imagery... the blue is almost overwhelming in its potency described, which is brilliant. That last line bites, in a good way. Great poem. Always, Laura
