In waves of ocean blue
my thoughts drift to you
where sky and water meetcatching a melancholy beat
It'll always be you
I'm telling you true
as I sing the blues
It'll always be you
caught in the rhythm of the rolling tide
do you know how many nights I cried
waiting on the shoreline for you to notice
the swelling heart of a blossoming lotus
we met strangers
in a dream so long ago
sometimes it feels like a lifetime, I know
the twists and turns our path did take
bringing us sorrow and heartache
In waves of ocean blue
my thoughts drift to you
where sky and water meetcatching a melancholy beat
It'll always be you
I'm telling you true
as I sing the blues
It'll always be you
Our words entwined in lines
beauty found in
mystical signs
caught in the rapture of love
waking to the mourning dove
I still hear the melody in my head
so many things we left unsaid
I invited you into my world
waiting for wings to unfurl
In waves of ocean blue
my thoughts drift to you
where sky and water meetcatching a melancholy beat
It'll always be you
I'm telling you true
as I sing the blues
It'll always be you

Yes, feels very bluesy. (My favourite kind of music.)
ReplyDeletesix string blue riffs, with emotional refrains--love lost, hearts torn up, a very creative take on the "blues" prompt.
ReplyDeleteOh! I LOVE this! That refrain is wonderful, lapping along like waves. And a gorgeous photo to share, as well.
ReplyDeleteSomeone needs to write music for this wonderful blues piece.

ReplyDeleteI agree, it could be put to music. Most everyone can relate to the blues of having lost a lover...you did that so expertly here!
ReplyDeleteSo much that could have been accomplished. If only there was a tendency to engage together! It could have been fun!

You had me at first stanza! This is truly beautiful and poignant. I love that refrain, too.

I absolutely love this!!!
Oh wow, i can hear the wailing guitar in the background to these beautiful words.
ReplyDeleteI can hear the sad melody that would accompany that piece...
ReplyDeleteI can hear you singing this with the refrain Truedessa. Hope the waiting for wings to unfurl will not be long.
ReplyDeleteA bluesy piece of the great blue. A great melody feel came due.
ReplyDeleteThe repeat refrain is a wonderful way to circle the poem and stitch it together. It's a lovely poem, in any case....evocative of love and loss.

Really enjoyed this one, and the repetition was so effective. A poignant and lyrical poem that drew me in.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to break into a song after reading your poem. 😊

You not only used the color blue but also sang the blues. Well done!
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous poem!
ReplyDeleteI like the way that stanza repeats,
ReplyDelete"It'll always be you
I'm telling you true
as I sing the blues
It'll always be you
There always seems to be that somehow who is at the centre of our 'blues' - as well as sweeping me along in the waves of your lines you brought back some memories
ReplyDeleteAh the heart throb while singin' the blues! Nice take on the prompt.
