tonight in my blue
you are my yellow

in evening's wake
the sea swells high
and i am looking out
over a bay that mimics
my emotion, two trees
are blowing like candles
in the wind; wild flickers

tonight in my blue
you are my yellow

ah Lily

you so have your muse back! There is a wild ... there is a subdued passion in your words... there is .... je ne sais quois....

Just that picture!

I had that dream about him again last night... your words just reiterate so much of that emotion I cannot explain! Job well done girl, job well done!

I hope you are well!

wild and stormy hugs

Thank you. Writing is how I live the world, I know thats sounds corny but its true. Its how I express myself. Glad you liked it. I read this poem and this of the Coldplay song Yellow. Beautiful writing and the image with it gives a whole other depth. Did you do the picture yourself?

apologeez for my delay, i'm battling the wicked flu monster...

Hi, Dean, i'm laughing at the term 'thing'. thank god i don't take my art seriously lol .. thanks Dean, I'm glad you're on Orble too.

Hi Loz, Yellow by Coldplay is one of my all time favourite songs. Yes i did the thing myself lol.. just felt like doing a visual of one touch of yellow on moving blue. I can tell you love writing as much as I do. It really helps to get things out, better out than in i say. Thanks for visiting Loz.

Hi Wendi,

so nice to see you here, on your favourite quilt...

Colours are wonderful to me; they hold much power in and each of themselves... purple is my favourite colour..

I read your Remembering August, you've had a very productive month. I hope you can sit back and feel that little glow of achievement. Proud of you!!

lovin'spoonfuls of hugs,
~Lily
