Sweet Golden Skies
indigo blue
escapes
this midnight hue
hiding from
bitter skies
which come as no surprise
almost like a liar's lies
and raindrops
falling on teary eyes
Footprints
are mere echoes
of bad goodbyes
Bloodshot
I almost forgot
That I once loved you
a lot
That you loved me
not
Now there's nothing left
but shadows of your quarter moon
in blooming June
on a beautiful grey afternoon
which remind me
of a popped balloon
That I won't be seeing you
anytime soon
Now Ivory clouds
and pearl white doves
fly higher
together
thru inclement weather
into indigo
and climbing higher
fighting fire
past the lies told by this liar
to anywhere they dare desire
above the bitter
and into Sapphire
past the cold
feeling old
letting the truth unfold
forgetting the lies that I once told
and needing the soul that I once sold
past the indigo, and ivory white
and straight into the night
kissing sweet skies of gold
and whispering
I love you
a lot
forget me
not
