Blue

​I fell in love

With the color blue

It crushed me 

But I liked it

I soared upon its weightlessness 

High in the sky 

Then the trouble set in

Deep blue became heavy

I drowned in blue 

It filled my lungs, my blood, my tears, I became blue

I trudged along thinking well, blue is cool

I can be blue

But

Blue is something to love, to breathe, to smile at

To lavish in, tell me…has there ever been anything more lush?

BEING blue is cruel 

My heart can’t take it- my mind hates it

I’m not you, blue

I’m the sun and moon that illuminates you

I’m the fish that blends into the hue

The wind that propels you into view 

The eyes that close so they can take it in

I am the velvety groan of a singer in pain 

But 

I am not blue

I do however, love you
