blue

idyllic blue skies

glistening waters of blue

blue eyes with blue smiles

Challenge
"I feel like falling...." write a poem using those words or any variation of those words.

I feel like falling unto the cold hard ground.

Will you catch me?

I hope.

I feel like falling unto the cold hard ground.

Like a marionette whose strings have been cut, I fell.

With no one to catch me.

And my bones and heart and mind shattered instantly.

the universe is conspiring against us, my love

but is our love strong enough to lift us above?

Want.

I want the words to flow out of me like a river.

But I can’t seem to find the right ones.

Not unlike her.

She’s perfect. At least in my eyes.

And I’m pretty sure in yours as well.

Her eyes were pools of molten onyx, deep enough for you to get lost in. Like galaxies and stars unknown, they sparkle with mysterious beauty.

You told me I was special to you. I was the one.

But am I, really?

I’ve seen the way you look at her.

The way your eyes light up and your smile widens.

I’ve seen the way she looks at you.

The way her eyes sparkles and her smile softens.

You told me I was special.

Would you forgive me if I don’t believe?

One word.

One word.

One word can awaken the flames, or extinguish the fire.

One word can resurrect the butterflies in your stomach who were silent for too long.

The tingling feeling is overwhelming, begging you to give it more fuel to continue blazing.

A fire dead for so long is blazing again.
