Poetry / Indigo Blue
My indigo blue lies in your eyes
Drops of my tears are mixed with that blue
Softening the color your eyes hold
I hold that softened blue
Close to my reddened heart
And I take this softened blue
Spreading shades of different blue
Across a canvas
Painting an empty sky
A plain sky filled with the shades of your eyes
Lying back and watching you watch me
Everywhere I go
Your eyes are on me
So I walk with your blues
Engraved in my brain
And permanently scarred on my heart
Coating me like emery
Your blues follow me like a sickening bitter sweet memory
your eyes speak to me like a symphony, playing harmonies
Killing me with the words they say
The look they withhold
Words they refuse to ever say
But yet they burn and dig deeply into my head
Like closing your eyes to block out the vision
But yet the vision remains
Like a picture that you cannot get rid of
Your blue is sweet and calm like the ocean waters
But yet dangerous like Mother Nature
And I try to control my human nature
But those blues
Damn those blues know how to get me going
So I look out my window and watch you silently
I watch them go a slight grayish dull color when anger fills your eyes
Or a deep purple color when sleep has come to take you
I watch them turn a gorgeous blue without a care in the world
Like on one of those sunny clear blue skies kinda days and I know you are happy
Your shades of blue match my shades of emotion
And I have all these strange notions
That your blues speak to me
Tell me what you want
How can I stop your blues from crying and I hate when those blue eyes get cloudy and start to cry
And I watch the sky
I wish I could and I do try
To reach up
And collect your tears in a cup
I watch the anger make your eyes angry and dark
And I run around the world collecting all the diamonds
So I can make your eyes sparkle again
Twinkling above me
But I guess there just isn’t enough diamonds to make you happy
Materialistic things are like that anyway baby
They just aren’t enough
But I do cry with your tears falling from above
Patting me on my head
And I know you know how I feel
That makes it all the more real
That you are sitting right here beside me
Even though I know you are not truly with me
So close but so far away
And all I have to do is look up everyday
and know somehow you are watching me
But I can never have you truly to myself
I get jealous when others pretend to know your blues
Only I do
Because you are my truest blue
So I sit back, fall into the black lit canopy
With starry blue eyes that are crying their teardrops on me
For the person I will always and never really be

Wow! At first, I kept thinking okay, I can’t get into this (only about the first two lines)...but then, I started visualizing a scene. I can picture the words coming to life. Everyone interprets a writing differently.
“Lying back and watching you watch me Everywhere I go” Great visualization.
A vivid image of a startling painting looking over you, the eyes of the subject following you. Watching over you. Loving you.
I feel that the poem is about our Savior. Crying out at the world. Showing love (sunny skies), showing anger (lightening storms).
Then I feel that it is about our skies “Twinkling above me
But I guess there just isn’t enough diamonds to make you happy”
The further that I read into your writing, the more emotional I felt, that tears burned my eyes. You are a poet worth reading. Let us know when you publish your book.
