The Color Blue

I have a passion for the blue color
Dark blues like the deepest oceans
Or light ones as the brightest skies

Navy blues bring out the poet in me
And I meditate using a Lapis Lazuli
My protection spell is a teal circle of fire
And of course my wedding ring has a Sapphire

But that’s not all, mind you
I love my denim jeans of indigo blue
I just have to buy anything blue I see
From a peacock phone
To a cobalt TV

You can call me crazy 
Or really eccentric 
Since my car is a shiny blue electric

I still want to paint my hair
With all shades of blue
But I have to convince hubby first
To not put me in a straitjacket…
…UNLESS IT’S BLUE…
