Blue

by Kristina Harris - Aries

The pastel palette that is the sky.
encircling all the inhabitents of the earth,
wrapping us in comfort like a baby's blanket,
and draping our lives with sunshine and laughter...
This is the color I long for.

Blue eyes...remind me of summmer days,
catching raindrops on my tongue,
and the taste of summer sun
melting on my skin...
This is the color I am lacking.

Sleepless nights and ticking clocks,
Waiting by the phone,
No money in my purse, 
Silence, my only companion.
always longing for something more...
Blue...it encompasses me like a noose.

The color of my heart...
empty and alone.
The color of my skin...
never-ending winter.
Dark skies and grey sunshine..
Welcome me...
to the color of my world.

Reason for writing:

    I was feeling very blue at the time.
