Blue

Blue

I write in blue

the color of my mood

the view of my mind

I wallow in sapphire

dark

metallic

devoid of depth

My heart harbors in navy

damp

dense

flat

Emotions lay in cobalt

hard

unchanging

unmoved

My body spreads in powder blue

soft

stationary

I am not the blue of the open sky

crystal

clean

clear

bright
