Blue

 With a crisp, short name

Yes, you heard it right,

Blue likes to play a unique game,

Blue likes to change the light.


With serene hues,

Yet bold forms,

You can't resist colour blue,

Blue's both the calm and the storm.


Blue is constant,

Being the colour of sea and sky,

Blue is not hard to hunt - 

It is present everywhere; be it low or high.


Like the vast ocean that contain salt,

The bright yet dark blue sucks up your fear,

Blue is, like red, a symbol of bravery and courage's vault,

But it fights with peace, unlike the violent red which fights with bright colours far yet near.


Blue comes in forms of all,

Subtle, dark, bright, jarring,

But not one colour has been disliked by them all,

Each and every colour has its own standing.


Blue, well, is it a symbol of sadness too?

Or is it just our own assumption?

Not all bad things are dark, not all skies are blue,

And not always does blue, for sadness, function.


Blue establishes peace and hope,

With its striking, diverse, positive shades,

So give my favourite colour a chance, will you,

Because when you feel it, you'll understand the truth about Blue the Great.

  2. The poem on Blue is great. It is a true statement of your thoughts about blue. Blue denotes the colour of Lord Mahavishnu, Sriman Narayana, Krishna. Yes blue is calm and denotes the Sathiva Guna which means calm and composed.. your expression of Blue poem is fine.

Long Lost Sleep

  After a long, exhausting day, the only thing all of us look forward to is SLEEP. So, as soon as you finish off the last crumbs on your dinner plate, you fling yourself onto your bed, rest yourself in a comfortable position, get your pillow nice and fluffed up, and throw the blankets on yourself. But then... You just realised that you still have your big, wobbly earrings on. So you throw back the blankets and remove your earrings and leave them in their box. And then you're back in your bed, and just as your eyelids are about to close... You realise that you haven't brushed your teeth. So, yet again, your throw back the blankets and get off the bed, letting the annoying, creaky sound fill your head. And then you throw open the door to your bathroom, get your brush ready and squeeze toothpaste onto it, but... The tube seemed to have a hole on the back, which you sadly hadn't noticed. And you get toothpaste all over your hands. Fuming, you wash your hands and get things done...

So Close, Yet So Far

  What you knew you had right beside you What you never knew might leave you What you had neglected for days What you wished was still there, within your gaze. That miniscule amount of hope  That you feel lingering close by You could open out your arms, embrace it, But suddenly it's high in the sky. Once within your grasp, But now away from you, Don't waste a moment on a wee gasp, Time won't stop, and the moving hope too. Each moment is to be caught, Each memory to be cherished, Hold them carefully in your arms, Before they shall vanish. The consistent inkling when you feel, Something close, yet so far, Is only because you know yourself, That it is within your grasp, but not within your confidence. If you're positive enough that you can hold it, The 'it' that is mysterious and something only you know, You can hold the precious 'it', Clutch it tight, don't let it go. You must be close to the end of the day, With its cliffs and slopes and Rocky slides,...

Stars

  Shining in the vast night sky, I see them from afar. Dominated by the brighter moon, There glimmer the stars. Mostly hidden by the cruel shadows, Or by the thick, misty clouds. But they do not give up, they still glimmer on, They make their voice be heard loud. Even though they're hardly seen, Even though they're hardly thought of, They know that someday they will be, Thought of, honoured and loved. So take an inspiration from stars, Show your true essence, Continue to shimmer, ignore the darkness, Because one day it'll fear your presence.
