I am sea of navy blue.
I am constantly in motion.
Some people on me 
have 'mal de mer' ,
but they need to take more care.

People like it when I am calm,
but it's all the same to...

In the wicked wind, fluttering away like herself
She clasps to her neck the silvery heart-locket
Before looking down from her shady alcove
She has no more time to waste, and, deciding a decided decision,
Tumbles through the sky...

When she was younger, she...

no longer;
Navy blue tears...

NAVY BLUE NIGHTS

She sees blue “bonjour” in his handsome eyes.
He’s wild for her cornflower wig, a pageboy.

A bluebird flits in their garden delight,
where plump berries grow and joy’s juice doth flow.

Her manicure’s shaded with chalybeous.
Her ears pierced with abalone blue pearls.

Egyptian blue and heavy mascara,

I chanced on a lady in waiting,
That kissed me.
And called me Baby.
"I say, hey,
It's a mistake, Lady.

White stars, red and white stripes.
	Blue for loyalty.
Waving in the wind, instilling pride.

The Sun was drowsing quietly,
Once upon a century, 
Mister Ocean calm but afraid, 
She was far but had a selected destiny. 

The ship was named unsinkable, 
She was the biggest ship ever, 
On those times, she was also famous, 
She was none other than Titanic.

lost in the past, I think back, and remember a better day.
You wrote to me about your new ship, and new friends,
and your new Pontiac, with only twenty-two payments left to pay.

The morning's rain...

'Midst cannon smoke the sun arose, blood red

          To spread the night's cold horrors on the bay

               Our tattered sails waved farewells...
