and just like the sun,

i’ll rise.

Do you ever
Journey to
The Ever Glow?
It’s a mist
Covered
Jungle,
With just
Enough
Fleeting
Daylight
To find
The path
Leading
To
Anywhere.

White stone streets stretching for miles
Bridges filled with gold and history
The legacy of a city
It's spirit in every brick, in every heart within its walls
The beauty of thousands of minds translated
Into art and architecture
Into iron ladders touching the sky
Into an underground labyrinth
Buildings bursting with oil and canvas and marble
There to be admired and adored, the gifts of millions that have come before
And as I stand before it's sacred heart, looking at the everlasting elegance
I am in love

color me turquoise
the color of serenity
the color of healing
the color of heaven
the color of positive energy

color me indigo
the color of mourning
the color of reminiscence
the color of melancholy

color me blue
color me with the silk lips that have kissed all that is beautiful
color me with the fluttering eyes that could tell unlimited tales
color me with the tip of your finger that traces every pore of my ivory crème skin
color me with the blood that bleeds through my heart like honey

color me with the color of gaiety and sorrow
therefore color me grieving
and color me euphoric

you are solely responsible for dyeing my dominant scarlet colored blood a puzzling sapphire hue.


nevertheless, color me blue.
