David William Breidenthal Poet Free verse

The Shade of Blue

The sun is the spotlight…when I perform a fabulous song
It’s like a disco ball above my head
Swarms and swarms of fans surround me
As I swiftly walk up on stage without hesitation
My heart is pumping rapidly with anticipation 
The city lights aren’t in use…but the artificial lights are shown
The spotlight shines down on me…
Like the smiling sun when I trek the mountains happily
But, you are the moon,
You are the shade of blue...don't feel guilty
You are the beautiful shade of blue...I want you to see
I want you to see
How amazing and wonderful you are to me
I followed your voice…
I followed His voice…
Leaving me time to rejoice
Not manipulating me like a worthless toy
I'm no longer an immature boy,
But a mature, sympathetic guy 
I know I can be pathetic...but I don't easily cry
Don't weep, you strong sheep
Just keep grazing in the land of delight, not lament
We both got to repent...
'Cause you and I have taken him for granite
Now, we're the shade of blue
It sounds so familiar
It’s very impressive and peculiar
Swarm around
Swarm around me
Don’t make a sound…
You buzzing bee – 
Don’t sting me with your jealousy
I’d rather hear you delightfully sing in harmony
With me…I wish it was meant to be
Don’t chase away our vibrant victory
You can share it with us…
I won’t mind handing you a portion of ecstasy  
You’re a story that I’ve read 
When I get up on my somewhat neat bed
I’ve read you many, many times already
I’ve noticed a difference in you…please forgive me for being too carefree!
In my heart’s opinion, you are as moving and clever as awesome rhymes
How many times…how many times…
Do I have to remind you about that? 
Do you need a thinking hat? I’ll chase after you like a cat,
Trying to catch the rat
By the tail…but it becomes a fail 
Our friendship will never decay or become stale
Like milk that gets left on the counter for hours or days…
Have I ruined your self-esteem? 
I don't scare if you lash out at me or scream
In my face...I need to have a hint that you need space
I know I can really hit a soft spot...but I wanna know just in case:
Is everything OK or what?
What's happening in your life, dear friend?
Did I make you feel worse? i didn't mean to offend...
I'll try to be kinder to you
For you can't help being the shade of blue
But, if you need someone to talk to about anything,
Speak your mind...I'm opened to most everything! 
I’ve been scattering everywhere like cheerios on the kitchen floor
Don’t lose contact with me…
I want you to stay next to me today

Mystic Rose Rose May 29, 2018 at 3:15 PM You have a fertile imagination and a fertile mind, I like that. Great write,

Jake Ponce May 6, 2014 at 8:22 PM 16th on the list: Mysterious. I was anticipating that you'd go back to where you were during the first few lines but never did. It's like a performer had so much to think of and take in on his big night and nobody knew how the show went.

Jan Allison April 30, 2014 at 5:56 PM Wow David! the only thing I didn't like about this write it the mention of cheerios - the smell is rank : - ( lol - apart from that it is truly magnificent! Hugs Jan x
