Blue-Faced Lover

in #poetry7 years ago (edited)





The sea above us


Changes with every mood—


Dark with anger

Pale with sadness


Although right now,

it’s blue;


So sleep safely, Love,

In watery moonlight,


I'm watching over you.

Blue, the colour of melancholy, but with an almost primitive sense of being protective added to it. I like it.

yes, very true, arthur

Aww. This is sweet. Great painting to accompany it too. I think it refers to how external situations can sometimes be unpleasant, but the lover won't let that stop him from protecting his beloved. :) It's interesting how "blue" here basically means happy or pleasant, when otherwise it would refer to sadness. Nice! :D

this a very insightful response, and you're right. Thank you :)
