Color Poem

"What Blue Is"

Blue is the wordplay that seeps from my mother's mouth

Flowing through the current with the whales

Swaying, curving down

-

Blue is a fragrant tall tale of blueberry nights

Dripping dewdrops on sweet Sunday mornings

Rocking, spinning to a beat to the mind

-

Blue is the dream that never comes true

Drowning in the depths of eternity

Misery, peace, ecstasy

-

Blue is up there and down there

Laughter riding the waves to my lips

Sleeping until love flies by my fingertips

-

Blue is every smile lovers fake

Placidly wondering what tomorrow will break

this time, sedating and freezing the heart

-

Blue is subtle tears converting to jewels and gems

Floating, falling up the rabbit hole to the seas

Children playing pretend between the vintage trees

-

Blue is so much and so little

All the humility and arrogance of the world couldn't possibly know

what blue is.

A/N: What's blue to you? Haha. This was an assignment for my class and I wanted to create a certain beat to it, like a song, while explainging that blue, to me, is a lot of things that someone can never really explain with words. In my eyes, blue is pain, sadness, nostalgia, the past, memories, tenderness, etc...
