A poem Blue turns to black

in #poetry7 years ago

A poem I wrote after a dream I had after my wife left me. All content is original.

True blue was the color of the waves that beautiful evening when the sea tore you from my hands. I helplessly watched as my grip turned weak and you were swept into the current. I screamed at the colors of you sinking and being swept away into a gigantic blue void. There was nothing I could do as I watched from the shoreline in agony. True blue fades into black. I wish I could turn back the wheels on the clock. Walking down the shoreline with nothing but time. We would stare into each others true blue eyes and this time I wouldn't let you go. Into that true blue that slips into black.
