Blue
A touch of Blue in our lives…
I am Blue
A splendid hue.
Close your eyes
And think of me.
I am sure you will see,
Each a different shade of me.
As soft as baby blue,
I splash across the dawnlit sky.
Only to turn azure,
As the sun goes up in the sky.
With sunset my moods
dance in delight.
I may turn into turquoise, teal,
Or indigo bright.
At night, I am the piercing neon blue
Lighting the streets and party halls
Glowing on the faces
Shining in the eyes
Of ladies decked in tiffany blue
And men in navy suits
I quiver in those delicate glasses of blue lagoon
Over which whispers and gossips flow.
They talk about their Monday blues
and shake it off
as they dance to the song - “blue eyes”
till well past midnight.
In another world not far from this
But hidden behind the city walls
Men, women and children
beaten blue and black
by hunger, hardships and sorrow
retreat to their dark dingy blue corners
till sleep wipes away their pain.
But for all these mortals
Rich and poor
As always
A new day breaks
And an innocent blue
Again splashes across the skies .
