Blue, the back of my eyelids
A tinge of stark
I step into a space
My room is never dark
For I dread it
My space is never dark
Not darkness of truth
But the color black
Blue, the color of my eyelids
Escort me to space
Intangible, indefinite bits
I stare, closed eyes in daze
The skies and blue oceans
Gush with enticing expanse
Unite at a mysterious horizon
An everlasting trance
Blue, the color of skin
He’s an embodiment of truth
His dainty fingers enjoy
Caress of the exquisite flute
The warmth of sapphire
And a stroke of azure on canvas
I touch both with delicate care
Blue; my growing madness
Blue, the color of my eyelids
Escort me to space
Intangible, indefinite bits
I stare, closed eyes in daze
