Blue

She is beautiful,
In her own kind of a way.
Moody, impulsive you would say
I would say she is real, only real.

I would like to touch her hand softly,
Look at her intent eyes ;
Voyeur her as she sips coffee with icecream
on an unknown parlor in Paris.

I would follow her
As she takes a stroll to the market
The bookstore and the court.

Follow her eyes always,
They have something to say,
Something that stirs something inside me.
At least i would like to think so.

I am sure she would not mind.
She never did when Kieslowski
followed her life and made her a movie
And Roger Ebert said its great.

But she seeks isolation.
She does not seek me or you
Even if she might tell you the opposite.

She wants to sever all those ties
Which attach her , bound her
and eventually implode inside her
Like a pent up storm.

But just like music
that exists when flute , sol
piano , violin all are in harmony
Life does too.

Although we seek liberty,
We run into love.
Although we seek freedom,
We run into commitment.

And into Warmth, Comfort
Despair, Crave, Passion.
Though the color is blue,
We can see the rainbow.

The 1st few stanzas were very attractive, even if the girl's identity was a bit confusing, then again, she might have been a symbol. The flow, word choice, and pure, plain wisdom in your poem made it a very special piece.

Though the color is blue,
We can see the rainbow.

Beautiful art. Thank you.

Nice writing, to bad it took so long to read.

Amazing! brilliant visuals and great feeling! I enjoyed this! :)

I adore this! Such ebb and flow!
The colour adds intensity and the realisation that everything - as it is- has colour - even though its blue! :)
Amazing choice of wording too!

I love the picture painted in my mind that this poem creates. The flow is consistent and the content is tranquil.

I'm going to guess that this was loosely inspired by the beautiful actress Irene Jacob; let me know if I missed my mark. This is beautiful scene crafting, you paint a picture that practically burns in the mind. You make it come alive. Excellent, excellent work...

[Amanda]

[Constance-Outspoken]

Sweet, well phrased writing. "Although we seek liberty,
We run into love." That line is great, and the last stanza leaves a succinct impression on the reader. Great piece.

Passionate, lovingly written - oh so lovely to read. I just got lost in this reverie....
