Blue

Blue
the color of your eyes
when you looked at me
that day so long ago

Blue
the color of the waves
that lapped against the sand,
then retreated
slowly
back to their home
the waves
i was once afraid of
but you taught me
to love

Blue
the color of the sky
that we gazed at
lying on top of the hill
that clouldess summer day
and
all i could think about
was how warm your hand felt
on mine

Blue
the color of my heart
when you left me
for some faraway place
i was all alone
in a world with no sea
no sky
no love

i wrote to you
but maybe
the letters
got lost

Blue
the color of your eyes
when you looked at me
that day so long ago

  • figures of the night

    we sat and imagined fireflies

    flitting between the tops of the RVs

    as the sun disappeared into muggy,

    illicit sludge. we realized we both liked

     the sticky-sweet taste of summer

  • The sun

    you're not

    leaving yet. no,

    i'll glue your limbs to the pavement,

    lower your waving hand,

    tell you

    something to make your eyes crinkle

    again.

    again,

    again,

    again.
