A bruised blue star

Epic so far?

By MP TarantinoPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Blue is for fools

Blue is for dreamers

The wind blows

the sky’s rage

The sky without its cage

Breathing light

Bright blue

Sky blue

Blue is ugly too

Feeling blue

Down, I’m depressed

A bottle of pale blue pills can attest

That stress gets the best of my imaginary sex

I cant sketch a life

With a blue ink pen

Without an eraser

Only I planned to be good

Please merciful Maker

Baby blue all the time

My happiness and heaviness

I’m crisp and refreshing

I’m bloated and bruised

Drowned in a river

Prideful too

Pacific blue

Now that sets my mind at ease

Dreaming of oceans and seas

A hammock on a yacht

Blue iced curaçao in Belize

But my life

Varicose veins and vampire skin

Blue lips are dead lips

The wages of sin

Navy blue sugarplums

my sweet fruit

Turned bloody on the ground

Overripe, rotten

Distilled and fermented

Where I used to be sound

Yet the biggest color of all time!

Owning the sky itself

Paying tithes to my blue eyes

In soft blue steel I receive

the vast majority

of my wealth

Mine eyes and heart invested

Also in oceans

Rivers

And seas

Spring fed ponds

And mountain streams

Fact

An azure lazy river surrounds

The slate-stone mansion

Of my dreams

May God weave this bruised reed

Weave a tapestry that is set free

A soaring firmament

Only I’m lucky-breathing in deed

As millions of blue-white stars

Slice through the night

Through this black heart

Like a knife

I tell you BLUE

Is the epic color

Of my life
