Blue

You guessed it. Another poem for Meegan. Written to cover her coffee on June 27th.

All of the poems I write for Meegan are connected to conversations we've had and have references in them that only she will recognize. Sometimes they refer back to earlier poems. This one has both, including a reference to the first poem I wrote for her, "Heart-Shaped Parachute".

For any of my friends that read this, we have a wedding date set! Finally. October 13th. I know it's not cool and all to be a single guy looking forward to getting married, but I truly am looking forward to it. I love her more everyday. On October 13th, I just get to tell everyone about that. Well, everyone that's there that hasn't already read it here.

This was inspired by a theme from a Lucinda Williams song by the same name. No resemblance to her sublime work of art, however. On to the poem . . .


Blue

You are blue
not sad
but sometimes that

No, you are the blue
of morning twilight
and new horizons
enchanting, exciting
hopeful and mysterious

I am still falling
into your blue sky smile
so full of hope
stretched out by more love
than a man can fathom

You are my blue
infinite, oceanic
yet as delicate as the blue in shadows
and raindrops

You are my blue
and I am yours

Everything

Another poem for Meegan - written to cover her coffee in the morning on June 4th. Meegan likes these posted here. I'm a little hesitant about posting them because these morning notes don't get polished up, but she enjoys them. Maybe someone else will also. Although, as I'm sure anyone can understand, that's not important.



Everything


I watched you sleep
your hands
clutching the blanket beneath your chin
your cat-eyes closed
your face relaxed
beautiful

You
so small there
in our bed
in our room
at the edge of the forest
on this spinning blue marble
in the vastness of nothing

You
impossible that you are mine
I cannot contain you
You grin and stretch
like a cat
out into the universe
your warmth beats back the cold
your smile brings the dawn
your touch churns the oceans
your whisper stirs the winds
here you are
the vastness of everything
