My Blues

Blue is hot.
Is cold.
Is fired heat across naked sky.
Is frozen as the coldest sin.
Blue is a scar too deep to heal.
Blue light with nowhere to hide.
The colour of prophets,
The visions beyond hills.
Blue is a climb into Babylon.
Blue is too close to my heart,
So unholy my fall into your abyss,
too blue
my blues.

  2. Blue of the steps and the door are very enticing. In reality we haven’t time to be blue…as there is so much to do.
