through the blue

Celebrating

the ones I left behind

and my empty heart

the ten hundred lovers

and the few I loved

they were not you

Celebrating

the lone journey

the heartaches

the crashed dreams

and the innocence of early years.

celebrating you

not being there

Celebrating

the empty chairs

and dinners alone

being oneself

and the many years

of not finding you.

i didn’t know

i was waiting

Celebrating

the choices to say no

the intoxicating freedom

of being one

and being strong

through my clenched fists.

you’re kissing

my fingers open

Celebrating

breathing in our space

savouring

your flavoured touch

the music in your eyes

celebrating you

for confirming

the color is forever blue

Celebrating

not painting my numbers

and going freestyle

holding tight

while we jump.

together we flow

in the blue skies of the universe

and across the seven seas.
