blue

 
blue was your name
melancholy rain your nature
I loved you with a tempest storm
we were thunder and lightening
the roll of the deep...

keeper of dreams you depart one day
retreated into your solemn place
where I couldn't reach you

in your sullen times you quietly observed
turning things over in your mind
I wondered then was I still in your thoughts

the rivers continued lazily to the seas
the sun rose on the day ever more
our love like a frozen lake
awaited the spring to make her new again
alive in the moment of the season
I too waited...

then one day like a fever breaking
the storm clouds parted and you returned to me
as if on a distant journey...you traveled
deep into the landscapes of your mind
where I couldn't follow...

we began our journeying together anew
you looked to me with soulful eyes
and whispered thank you for being
for not troubling my lake of pain
with ripples of non compassion

I flowered with joy
my best friend and love returned to me
