Hues of blue

Blue Fate

by Shirley Ann Bunyan

Your cobalt-glossy eyes demanded my attention.
What secrets lie beneath?
There was but one colour in that electric tension.
It was the blue of midnight before black.
Indigo deep intentions hid through a steel-blue smile.
Would I tread where others had tripped?
Was my destiny already packed, paid and shipped?
Prey. An aqua-marine queen in a cornflower dress
yielding to your grandiose arrest.
Azure skies and turquoise rainbows could not abate
the universal swathe of fate that sealed my
world dark blue.
