You Brought Me

You brought me words

fueling my heart with the

breathing fires of life

You brought me poetry

Dickinson, Yeats, Keats

and Shakespeare

You brought me  stars

and moonlit waves of cheer

You brought me a smile making

my day worthwhile

I bring you gratitude

If You Were a Poem

By Blue and Truedessa 

Thanks Blue for being you!

Aware by Blue and Truedessa

Artwork - The Blue Grumpster

This is life.

This is the life we lead.

Make the best of it, Truedessa Dear.

It may not be perfect but it is ours.

It is a once in a life-time opportunity

to breathe and to love.

Can you hear the waves touch the shore?

Can you feel the wind on your shoulders?

Are you aware that you are here?

This is life

We are the stars of our show.

Let’s shine with delight, Blue Dear.

Traveling through times of  darkness,

we still gravitate towards the light.

Life is a gift, we need to unwrap its splendor

breath to breath, heart to heart, love to love

Can you see beyond the sunburst horizon?

Can you taste the rain on a cloudy day?

Are you aware, that I am still waiting?

Yes, I'm aware, so unaware.

I'm standing on a cliff just listening

hoping you can sense my voice

and hear the thoughts I'm sending.

I'm aware, so unaware,

so reaching out to you, to life.

This is my only shot

and it feels good.

Can you see the generations still to come,

The generations that once were?

Are you aware that you are time

and this is now?

Yes, I am aware, very aware

I  feel you signaling through space

tuning my radar into your frequency.

Life is about taking chances, finding

you still believe in dreams come true.

I can  see the generations still to come,

I can  see the generations that once were

they have left their prints in the world

I am aware that the only time is now

it is what defines us in this moment

Are you aware, of my voice in the night?

Are you aware I see beyond what is here?

I hear you.

You are the song beyond the fog.

The tune beyond the lies.

The sound I hear when fear takes hold of me

When the weight of my insignificance

is more than I can bear.

Oh I'm aware.

Please don't go.

Please don't say I'm gone.

Not just yet.

This is life.

This is now.

I want to smile.

I see you on the rocky cliff

your thoughts drifting towards me

in the heart of the sea an unsung song

untethered, weightless born to fly

your existence significant, believe me

it's true...

Oh, I am aware

Please don't go

Please don't say good-bye

Not today, not tomorrow

hang on to life

hang on to now

today is a new day

allow yourself to

smile, Dear Blue

Can you feel me, in that place of blue?

Who We Are (Supposed to Be)

"Who are we... I don't knoooooooooooooooooooow!" (sing along!)

by Truedessa and Blue

Blue and Truedessa — who are we in this earthly show?

Do you wonder what is out there beyond passing clouds?

Is there an oasis with blue skies, a place for dreamers to go,

A refuge for wandering souls to stay as long as time allows?

Ah time's a crooked thing, Miss Blue — don't trust it for a second.

As days rush by, you think they're minutes ever since life first beckoned.

And what a life it is, this earthly show, filled with stars, and us,

Hired by the day to play some part, wondering what it is we do

Or who we are supposed to be.

We dream, we discuss, we count the clouds until the count is lost,

We feel small and yet so big; our voice is clear, our eyes don't lie,

And still we sense we do not see, and at what cost?

A refuge would be quite the treat.

If souls exist, I'm sure you'll find your seat.

Do you believe beyond the sky river awaits a golden castle,

Where knights and their ladies dance to a minstrel's song

Waltzing in blades of grass, no longer fighting earthly battles?

Would we behold a place of true heart, a place for us to belong?

Believe I don't. My show is here, and it's enough.
No sequels for this movie buff,
This actor, this dreamer of dreams and more,
This earthly knight when eyes are shut,
This dancer among dancers galore,
This believer in the here and now,
This earthly show, this time to bow
and take it all in: a dream that might come true.
Who are we?
Who are we supposed to be?
Don't say our show was called The Unremarkable Two.
