Singing the Blues

A. and I just came back from that Reign Over Me movie with Don Cheadle and Adam Sandler.
This is a poem I wrote some years ago. And the painting I did some several lifetimes ago. Like most of my possessions from that time, I lost the painting in a relationship divorce. I guess they didn't want to take the poetry. Anyway, both of my creations seem to fit each other and matches my mood tonight. I gotta get home soon, I'm missing my family and any real friends or relationships I ever had.
Hey, every post on here can't be upbeat.

Blue

Blue is the color formed before my eyes most often.

Turquoise, slate-gray or green blue…

Ocean blue, sky blue, deep sea water blue.

My eyes are brown most often, but lately, with what they have witnessed,

these eyes are changing a color more blue than often noticed.

Hues of blue both felt and seen…more than often.

Tears not clear, but tinged with blue, cloudless blue, blackened blue,

undeniably blue.

I blew a kiss to the one I longed to love and it was not returned.

Now I remain, most often and more times than not,

blue…
