Midnight Blue

As day comes to an end
and my thoughts layer the sky
in shades of colour that blend
the moment of your good-bye

Waves of blue with hints of red
share the emotional tears
my eyes and heavy heart bled
to the sky and on for years

And as time swallows the light
and distant stars shine for few
emptiness fills one more night
as I fill with Midnight Blue.

Ctowen,
And as time swallows the light
and distant stars shine for few
emptiness fills one more night
as I fill with Midnight Blue.
As I said once before the color blue represents an unknown quanity, so there is hope.

this is a bittersweet cadence kissed beauty.
the blue melancholy wrapped in rhyme, aches off the page.
Meets my mood well today.
well done poet.

This distance has shown how the road remains alone
Now I'm looking in my life ... for a truth that is my own.

While this has a sad tone to it, Midnight blue can change its hue so suddenly that it leaves me hopeful for you.
A good poem, that left me thinking in blue.

I loved this.

Poetic verse nestled in the warmth of my heart, reveals the sweet yearnings of my soul....

(big hugggssssss) Oh Craig, this is so so sad and I can feel your heart cry throughout these words! (sad sigh) Hearts can be blue, but soon joy will fill your tears and you will be singing with sunshine gold! (sigh) My heart is with you, dearest friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Craig, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Good write CT. Midnight Blue, yup, that describes the mood perfectly. I'll be thinking of that colour now, next time I'm reminiscing for my lost love

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Seymour/Midnitesun -
   Blue does represent unknown quanities ...
   and so does the Midnight Sky.

Windwalker -
   Been awhile ... thanx!!

Janet -
   Sorry you ache so today ...
   I will try and make your tomorrow better.

Magnus -
   Thank you and welcome!

Nancy -
   Glad you liked and, "yes", you are
   unforgetable!

Caress -
   I am pleased you felt its soft touch.

Wynter -
   There has not been a Wynter's night
   that was not midnight blue in some
   thirty years ... may I say you paint
   well!!

Noah -
   Thank you much, keep shining!!

Tracey -
   You would look so much better wrapped
   in white clouds. I hope you don't spend
   to much time reminiscing.

Sandra -
   Thank you, I believe we all have seen
   such a sky, I rather hope yours are
   filled with stars.
