The Deepest Shade of Blue

Jan 19, 2006 | Filed in Confessions | 3 Comments

When I was a teenager, I used to write a lot of poetry.

Looking back, I really don’t like much of what I wrote. It just seems very “artsy”. I get visions of men in berets and black turtlenecks sitting in a coffee house, talking about their feelings. That doesn’t fit my persona.

I did find one poem that I thought would be okay to share:

“The Deepest Shade of Blue”
May 22, 1998

The deepest shade of blue
Is a world without you
A universe destroyed with the weight of my tears
And the blood from my heart to flood for years
The stars burn the sand as they rain from the sky
The clouds melt in the seas as they come to die

In the deepest shade of blue
There is no world without you
