an aquamarine adventure
his hazel eyes surrender
on a turquoise quilt for two
removing his iceberg shoes
a cobalt coat of harmony
serenity of a cerulean sea
a lapis lazuli lullaby rock
infant’s navy sheets to sleep
shivers of midnight bruise
their chalice of vindigo*
the Winter a brisk sapphirine
a deep-ultramarine hurricane
blue seaweed clings to cradle
seashell-veins grieve loss
predilection of hazel eyes
iceberg shoes tear the quilt asunder

Craig Cornish/Blue Poetry
*vindigo - blue wine
An aria of dawn breaks, I’m at ease,
above the sapphirine skies sunbeams glow.
Morn rises in the east as night does cease,
stardust fades into warm light rays below.
Heaven’s eyes open with pure affection,
fervor delight with generous ardor.
With God’s annum I’ve made a connection,
something to treasure; a peace I adore.
Radiant tones of tangerine and blues,
sunlit day stars twinkle with emotion.
Pallets of deep splendored medallion hues,
my heart rests in ravishing devotion.
For there's nothing like basking in the sun,
awaiting eventide when the day's done.

Crystal sapphirine salted leaf,
The forlorn friend of aqua rose.
Memories of ages, only the leaf knows.
Bright blue tears of eternal grief.
The wedding bands confirm our love.
Passion, ardent affection for life.
I and Lenore forever my wife,
Beautiful as a pure white dove.
The eye of the rose reflects all,
You see the past in a single glance.
The aqua rose: Lenore, did me enhance.
Away she flew, to kingdom hall.
Why? Did she die; I do not know.
Answers in the blue crystal salt,
Sapphirine leaf will sorrow halt.
I eat the leaf for status quo,
My heartbeat quickens, then a smile.
Lenore, my wife doth call me hither.
Aqua rose begins to wither.
The saga must continue.
Crystal sapphirine salted leaf,
The forlorn friend of aqua rose.
Memories of ages, only the leaf knows.

Passion, ardent affection for life.
I and Lenore forever my wife,
Beautiful as a pure white dove.
The eye of the rose reflects all,
You see the past in a single glance.
The aqua rose: Lenore, did me enhance.
Away she flew, to kingdom hall.
Why? Did she die; I do not know.
Answers in the blue crystal salt,

My heartbeat quickens, then a smile.
Lenore, my wife doth call me hither.
Aqua rose begins to wither.
The saga must continue.
