tears of blue
she cried tears of blue
in its darkest hue
her radiant beauty
still sparkling through
the love she once knew
now faded from view
memories of a past
contrasted in blue
through watery pupils
she looked out anew
her rose colored world
now jaded, askew
this once happy girl
so open and true
found her broken heart
now colored in blue
“never again!”
she proclaimed
as her agony grew
and the years soon revealed
this was tragically true
her heart never healed
now she factually knew
the true color of love
was actually blue

I can understand this girl.... I like this poem!
Nice. thanks for giving me a reason to think of blue in a differnt light.
You know what! I am pleasantly surprised that you are a talented lyricist. I am diggin this and I can actually hear it with a saxophone screamin in the background in a smoky hole in the wall with watered down drinks and menus covered in plastic... I luv it!
Thanks for the birthday shout out and a belated one to you too.
I love this poem for a myriad of reasons. It's rhythm and pulse are as durtymo described and the echoes of melancholy are painfully soulful.
PS. Thanks for explaining what my poem meant to you. 'Preciate that.
Dane I feel bad for this woman. Years went by and she never loved again. This really gives you something to think about.
Wow. Sad and depressing, but unfortunately true in a lot of women's cases. That's why I'm glad somebody encouraged me not to be consumed with the fear of being hurt again, and I was able to love again (and be loved in return).
Love's true color is the rainbow!
NYM, that is so true. Looking at you and CB, I know love's true color should be bright and colorful.
@ babybear - Aw! You know I'm emotional these days. Gone make me cry!
Wow!!
This is a beautifully and truthfully powerful piece!
Bravo to you!
tinyj - a new screenname, huh? ok....
p - yep, many shades to blue. i guess all of them don't have to be sad or melancholy but i thought it fit this particular piece.
durty - not a smokey hole! lol. thanks for the compliment.
blu - thanks for the bday love, and you're welcome!
bb - it is what it is right? a friend of mine was/is experiencing something similiar so it kinda inspired this piece.
nym - thanks for stopping thru. yeah love can be a rainbow too, i guess it depends on whose eyes your looking through though. i'm glad you were able to get through and over come your pain. ;)
ub - thanks for the love, queen.
Nicely stated. I love how you capture and contrast these emotions.
Definitely my favourite..
I feel this poem, the lyrics touched deep inside my soul,because I can relate to this.
