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.

. ahhhh ... beautiful ... and incredibly vivid too ...

[Lichen Eyes]

The last three stanza's are my favorite, the language and use of contradictory events really "open up" the poem- whereas before it was about a singular individual, the ending leaves space for most to relate and fit themselves inside of this gorgeous piece of writing.

Stunning imagery.

Very very descriptive... Just shows that writing can be taking in so many million ways. Thank you so much for writing this for the world to see...
