Shades of Blue

~ a romantic little scribble ~

Shades of blue in endless skies

               crystal clear his lovely eyes…

 

 

Soft pastels surrounding me

         with each gaze, tenderly

                  I’m embraced with his love

                         infinite...like skies above

 

Cloudless heavens gently dance

                     in the beauty of each glance...

 

Shades of blue, in reverie

           I rise then I’m falling free

                                      soft as a breath upon a breeze

                         of whispers, wrapped in the tease

                                     of silken sheets in disarray

 

                     Lingering in his love I’ll stay

                   captured by his lovely eyes

 

                                Shades of blue in endless skies

I definitely think blue is the color that captivates many of us. A blue sky is so mesmerizing & blue eyes always capture my attention. I've had this experience, where the blue color of someone's eyes just send me into a reverie. You've revealed many sweet, gentle observations of what blue does to you.

I will write this as it happened so we can relate. I came here becuase blue brought me here and after reading your writing which is a candour and beauty of loving relationship. I thought. Ooops not that blue, and then it came to me. Am I the only one that relates blue to "cold thinking"? . As a hue it is powerful — but it is on the negative side, and in its highest purity is, as it were, a stimulating negation. Its appearance, then, is a kind of contradiction between excitement and repose.

But you feeling towards him are not ignorant like my appreciation of colour.

Thankyou

There was a time when I related blue to sadness and sorrow - feeling "blue" - so I almost didn't title this poem Shades of Blue - However, my sweetie had the most beautiful eyes - the color of the sky - how could one feel "blue" when gazing into something so lovely....so, shades of blue has new meaning for me and will forever... Thank you for your wonderful comment. I look forward to reading your poetry :) Julie

Your poetry show how deeply you love someone as deeply as he love you to Julie. Your beautiful graphic imagery go so beautifully with this one
