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

  • It Never Ends

    her magenta marker

    the silent clock

    my desk, now darker

    with dust like chalk.

     

    his name in my phone

    my swimming mind

    his teeth were like moonstone, 

    mouth open that night.

     

  • wanting, without direction

    today's air tastes like berries

    and overused metaphors. the shadows run

    across golden ground, and i look 

    at our old stone wall like they would in farmers' days.

    a boundary, a gate
