With summer heat you wonder why the heart is artic. Cerulean days stand there in longing but only fade to denim moods. On indigo nights, soft eyes wander through parks where navy planes once sought aqua places to fight Aegean Wars as maya has become midnight in the hardened mind of cobalt crying Carolina tears an independence from love’s intermittent pains. Sapphire blues soon fade to autumn azure afternoons transcending cyan darkness to electric October suns. 7/16/18 BLUE Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Mystic Rose Rose
