Love Poem: Sweet Golden Skies

Sweet Golden Skies

indigo blue

 

escapes

 

this midnight hue

 

hiding from

 

bitter skies

 

which come as no surprise

 

almost like a liar's lies

 

and raindrops

 

falling on teary eyes

 

Footprints

 

are mere echoes

 

of bad goodbyes

 

Bloodshot

 

I almost forgot

 

That I once loved you

 

a lot

 

That you loved me

 

not

 

Now there's nothing left

 

but shadows of your quarter moon

 

in blooming June

 

on a beautiful grey afternoon

 

which remind me

 

of a popped balloon

 

That I won't be seeing you

 

anytime soon

 

Now Ivory clouds

 

and pearl white doves

 

fly higher

 

together

 

thru inclement weather

 

into indigo

 

and climbing higher

 

fighting fire

 

past the lies told by this liar

 

to anywhere they dare desire

 

above the bitter

 

and into Sapphire

 

past the cold

 

feeling old

 

letting the truth unfold

 

forgetting the lies that I once told

 

and needing the soul that I once sold

 

past the indigo, and ivory white

 

and straight into the night

 

kissing sweet skies of gold

 

and whispering

 

I love you

 

a lot

 

forget me

 

not
