Your Blue

my love for you
is the color blue
not a hint of sadness—
a loving hue

your eyes, the color
of a soothing sky
are what I need
for a daily high

within your arms
life is fresh and new
my love, to me,
you’re the color blue

your blue is gentle
and calms my heart
your blue is the abundance
you always impart

your blue is the breath
i need to take in . . .
blue is your humor 
always making me grin

your blue is masculine
and soft, and strong
immersed in your depths
is where i belong

your blue is bright,
a mountainous high
my romantic moon
under a starry sky

your blue is my anchor
on a violent sea
my steady sailor
you always will be

it’s a gift to be loved
by your sapphire soul
my connection to you—
the other half to my whole

my cherished sweetheart
my perfect blue
my favorite color
will always be you
