Just the Right Blue

So blue, but just the right blue

A sui generis shade

That lies In the middle of the spectrum

Not quite as dark as the midnight sky

Or as the gold-buttoned navy suit soldiers march home in

From war to kiss their sweetheart

Not as light as the serene seas bordering

Seductive islands with beaches never touched

In the corners of the world where the dolphins dance

Across the street

The swimming pool is a lighter shade from the lining

Fading over the years

Flecked green like mine

Pure like a baby’s in their first glance of

Our confusing realm between the stars

Containing a shimmer when the sun pierces them

Like the pavement on the summer city streets

A sweet innocence where to wrap myself

And take an infinite nap with you

Cloaking the affliction but glorifying the beauty in

The following day that follows this night

Just the right blue for me
