painting you in blues
all varying shades of blue, like
the ocean kissing sky
just beyond your door, like
the diamond patterns we
slept upon, made love on
and those jeans, your
favorite t-shirt,
always blue

my eyes soak it all in and
shine the blue back to you

ships that swim on your walls
and songs that pour
from your fingers
awash in blue, words
caught beyond realms
words that spill from
this pen, blue letters
and blue truth

I know where to find you in
the night sky, beneath
the mountains where we
found the quiet,
found love in the
silence in each other

you are kept by the blue
you were born within, by
all parts of me you stained and
everything that is you, always
blue, forever blue
