Shades of Blue
I always had a weakness for blue eyes
Gorgeous orbs far more precious than sapphires
This royal color exists everywhere in nature
It quickly became my favorite color.
Halcyon days soon blessed my soul
As I found my soul-mate to accompany me
Through storms and gentle winds, he is a constant presence
Looking up at the sky and I admire those shades of blue.
His golden hair that outshines the sun, and his gentle smile that warms my heart
Yet everything melts away once I stare in his azure eyes.
Just when life couldn’t get better, my soul came to life once more
As a Phoenix emerged from the flames before me
His stunning fiery hair illuminated the night
One look into his cyan eyes had me under a spell.
This crimson angel is proud and majestic
And swirling in his bright eyes are gorgeous shades of blue.
Walking along the beach, I met the last piece in my heart’s puzzle
A being as rare and precious as a Pearl
He had a rose in his hands, and a delicious smirk on his face
Yet all I saw were shades of blue.
Gorgeous orbs far more precious than sapphires
This royal color exists everywhere in nature
It quickly became my favorite color.
Halcyon days soon blessed my soul
As I found my soul-mate to accompany me
Through storms and gentle winds, he is a constant presence
Looking up at the sky and I admire those shades of blue.
His golden hair that outshines the sun, and his gentle smile that warms my heart
Yet everything melts away once I stare in his azure eyes.
Just when life couldn’t get better, my soul came to life once more
As a Phoenix emerged from the flames before me
His stunning fiery hair illuminated the night
One look into his cyan eyes had me under a spell.
This crimson angel is proud and majestic
And swirling in his bright eyes are gorgeous shades of blue.
Walking along the beach, I met the last piece in my heart’s puzzle

He had a rose in his hands, and a delicious smirk on his face
Yet all I saw were shades of blue.

Ocean Waves
When I am closing my eyes, all of the memories come rushing
Back like the turquoise ocean waves that are hitting or crashing
Against the rocky shoreline. We are running through them like
We are schoolchildren again with laughter that keeps gushing
Out like lava from a volcano, but it is that smile you are flashing
Me that I love. You came in strong like the ocean tide and strike
Of lightning. I want to capture it so it would not be gone forever
Among the sapphire and midnight blue sky. I want to tell you
That I am not afraid of the darkness and that I love the way your
Eyes reflect like the ice-capped mountains in winter I have never
Seen before. Can there be 50 shades of grey and 50 shades of blue?
Because I have seen the rainbow of colors, but blue is only pure.
Back like the turquoise ocean waves that are hitting or crashing
Against the rocky shoreline. We are running through them like
We are schoolchildren again with laughter that keeps gushing
Out like lava from a volcano, but it is that smile you are flashing
Me that I love. You came in strong like the ocean tide and strike
Of lightning. I want to capture it so it would not be gone forever
Among the sapphire and midnight blue sky. I want to tell you
That I am not afraid of the darkness and that I love the way your
Eyes reflect like the ice-capped mountains in winter I have never
Seen before. Can there be 50 shades of grey and 50 shades of blue?
Because I have seen the rainbow of colors, but blue is only pure.

Blue
My words burn like ice,
They emanate from a place so cold,
Engulfed by heated emotions of the worst kind,
They cut through fire ,freezing the burn of the hottest flame whose color is blue,
My favourite color in the spectrum of my being is blue,
Like the ocean,
On the surface I look peaceful,
Reflecting the beauty I wish was mine
But deep inside is a conflicted field filled with demons I keep concealed
So they don't see the light of day or let alone feel the surface breeze.
I am the fire in the ice,
I burn, i freeze
I'm blue
They emanate from a place so cold,
Engulfed by heated emotions of the worst kind,
They cut through fire ,freezing the burn of the hottest flame whose color is blue,
My favourite color in the spectrum of my being is blue,
Like the ocean,
On the surface I look peaceful,
Reflecting the beauty I wish was mine
But deep inside is a conflicted field filled with demons I keep concealed
So they don't see the light of day or let alone feel the surface breeze.
I am the fire in the ice,
I burn, i freeze
I'm blue

The blues Hiaku 5-7-5
Blue bird circles high
the clear skies paint your mood today
and keep the blues away
the clear skies paint your mood today
and keep the blues away

star shine
my sadness in blue
shades of you wrap around me
melancholy vines
entering the sacred soul of my silence
in mute trust
we come in to one another
coalescing in the scripture of each other
it is written we would be
in my cold darkness you appeared
I was neither shaken or in need
you saw me and wondered at the vision
a woman alone in the vastness
you came into me
I awaited you in hope
but you only knocked and fled
now shy and vulnerable
blooming slowly
each petal unfurling at my speed
we are one upon the backs of eons
evolving into each other
we collide
our love, lust story
witnessed by the stars
recorded and part of history is this shift
as I realize I need you

blue
inside the sadness I wept
I named it blue
it came across the ocean
becoming one within my soul
it's shaded with grief
it undulates and shifts
growing more poignant
and deeply colored
it kisses my pain
he is willing
that we should heal as one
great tears roll down his face
silently he whispers
I will show you
your own reflection
I turn to him
and peer into his great eyes
shining with the universes
I fall into them
where I have visions
I see a lass so fair
it is his beloved
she was lost to him
in the first revelation of creation
when her mind was deceived by a dragon
this beast took her to the land of the dead
where she broke
losing herself more each day
inside the truth stirred
but she could not see past the face of the liar
the lady and the blue
were from the land of forever
he said you are still among the lost
you are the lass in the vision
it's time you waken to me
shh it won't hurt
i'll awaken you gently
come with me now to the garden
come silently now
it's almost over
my eyes slowly blink open
I see he is the sun
and I the dawn
that kisses it eternally
I named it blue
it came across the ocean
becoming one within my soul
it's shaded with grief
it undulates and shifts
growing more poignant
and deeply colored
it kisses my pain
he is willing
that we should heal as one
great tears roll down his face
silently he whispers
I will show you
your own reflection
I turn to him
and peer into his great eyes
shining with the universes
I fall into them
where I have visions
I see a lass so fair
it is his beloved
she was lost to him
in the first revelation of creation
when her mind was deceived by a dragon
this beast took her to the land of the dead
where she broke
losing herself more each day
inside the truth stirred
but she could not see past the face of the liar
the lady and the blue
were from the land of forever
he said you are still among the lost
you are the lass in the vision
it's time you waken to me
shh it won't hurt
i'll awaken you gently
come with me now to the garden
come silently now
it's almost over
my eyes slowly blink open
I see he is the sun
and I the dawn
that kisses it eternally

Cobalt Blue
Starry Starry Night
how hard you fuel
their fiery soul;
blue-black backdrop
a feathered crow
glimmering in the moon;
One hundred thousand
million stars, unspooled
amid a fabric bolt
of endless cobalt blue
Starry Starry Night
how your brush
ensnaring space
swirls across a canvas
blank, capturing
what can't be caught
One hundred thousand
million strokes, in unison
create our view
in endless cobalt blue
Starry Starry Night
how your blood
did flow forthright
how the hand gun
stained the wood
falling from your grip
One hundred thousand
million drops, flooded red
the delta of your wound
from arterial cobalt blue. . .

Darleen
On a hot summer night
At a canteen in Abilene
I met a girl with blue eyes
With a touch of green
Taking me by the hand
She danced with me
Later, we made love
In an old rusty Chevy
That night I fell in love
With woman named Darleen
An exotic eyed beauty
With eyes of aquamarine
At a canteen in Abilene
I met a girl with blue eyes
With a touch of green
Taking me by the hand
She danced with me
Later, we made love
In an old rusty Chevy
That night I fell in love

An exotic eyed beauty

Happy Blues
I like the blue
the colour of the sky
how I used to stare at it
as the clouds pass by
to disappear from
all of the despair
when I was feeling
there's no one to care
unintentionally
I fell in love with the blue
they said feeling blue is sad
but not in my point of view
the conversations
I had with the blue sky
how I promised myself
I would never hit my wife
clouds and winds painted
scenes to my pleasure
the image of a happy family
those memories I treasure
you know me from my
childhood through teenage years
you saw me smoking weed
and for that, here. Cheers!
you saw me when I
brought my girl to this place
on top of the roof climbed
through the terrace
am laying next to her
with her hand on my chest
I calmly watch the blue sky
I heard you said all the best!
