blue thoughts

her thoughts are blue

When you're in love, there's always a special something. For me, it's the blue.

Colours

fell into 

the ocean blue

that was

you ...

not a when, exactly, 

but an incremental

awakening ---

from empty, 

to deep blue

see …

inside her heart the blackness grew

until she left behind 

the only life she ever knew

and found the light

at the edge of his blue …

and it was there

she discovered

she didn't need to be

the centre 

of his universe,

just the sparkle,

at the edge of his blue …

was there any place

she'd rather be

than somewhere 

lost inside

the things

he thought

might be?

More than she can admit,

More than she thought possible,

Deeper than his blue eyes,

Softer than his quiet smile,

More than she ever knew,

The ones nailed shut;

The hidden ones 

She didn't know

What they were for

His love opens

Every door

[Lyn Anderson]

Ah how things have changed. That comment makes me smile. Thank you

[Kay Salisu Titilola]

Hmmm... this is romantically attractive.
It makes me feel lost in the ocean of love thought.
I can't just imagine myself diving through its deep,
For what you said in this poem made me travel through
some love mysteries.

[Lyn Anderson]

Very nice to meet you. Thanks

[Kay Salisu Titilola]

It's my pleasure.

[Edie Blue Starfish]

The blue has a very calming effect and easy to get lost in. This is charming and romantic.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you so much

[Einstein Noodle]

deeply romantic .. nice to see you posting anew Lyn! ;) sharp contrast in the blackness and
"The ones nailed shut;
The hidden ones" ... ripples of fear threaten otherwise deep ...almost spiritual revelations found ..no need to be the center ...its sparkling at each others edges the make the ride smoother says i ... closing is very romantic ... as so many times, your poetry makes me wish I were that guy :)

Thank you so much, I appreciate it

Beautifully penned thoughts on love Lyn. 'His love opens every door'. That is perfectly expressed. Blue is a wonderful colour, it shouldn't be associated with sadness. Good to read you. Haven't seen you around in a while.

[Lyn Anderson]

thank you. I write every day, but I really need to catch up on reading and posting.:)

[Travis Gibson (poetic h..]

I've not been able to stretch my pen down a romantic avenue lately, but this was enchanting and inspiring. Wonderful write.

[Lyn Anderson]

there's romance there, in your heart, just gotta let it out of your pen

[Laura Kate]

I absolutely love this! My first visit to your page and I am very happy to be here.

- how beautifully well you communicated this. I feel both nostalgic for past relationships and am at the same time thrown into the future, thinking of things which have not yet been. I have written also about the colour blue, I would be very interested to see what you think of it. Looking forward to reading more of your work. Laura

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you kindly. Point me in the right direction

[Eden Zausner]

I have no words for how truly astonishing this poem is! Your truly a writer!

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you so much

I appreciate the picture of your notes they are as lovely as your lines. If you saw my notes you would jump backwards in astonishment of how chaotic they look:) I really do like this form it flows so nicely... the form of each stanza has a different tone. I think i understand all of the stanzas up until 5 I am guessing a sense of reluctance in complete submersion but the 6th stanza in answering the 5th gets me confused the first 5 lines are an acceptance of a yes in answer but the last lines....
The ones nailed shut;

The hidden ones

She didn't know

What they were for

His love opens

Every door

was it referring to your hidden feelings/defense or his or was it that he unlocked them for you?
I was reluctant to review cause the bunny got a bit confused on those lines and honestly i have to know now cause i think i read this a ton and cant make up my mind! oh and by the way i think this is just lovely poetry

[Lyn Anderson]

They both have hidden doors that were never open before. :) I am glad you liked, thank you

[Robert Trakofler]

thanks i was leaning toward that thought

[Alfred Kukitz]

Your quietness surrounded me and embraced the very thought of your blue coming to see my blue.

regards,

[Lyn Anderson]

That's lovely. Thank you
