This is truly a very beautiful testament to the subject and is conceived with intelligence and a high skill for finding the right words and rhyme.
"Turquoise dreams, cerulean themes-
The sky runs out of praise.
It bursts at seams or so it seems -

Loved it .. truly! I'm definitely going to have to check out some more of your work.. this was full of passion, desire and fun!
