The perfect blue
Is not a shade, nor tone,
But you -
*Hmm this is an interesting start. It makes me wonder how a person can be the color blue. Good :)*
In equal measure,
A sad smile
And a smiling tear.
*I would rewrite these last lines like
"A sad smile
a smiling tear
both equal parts of you."
That seems to flow better to me. But that's just ideas :) *
You surrender
To dying nights
Yet stay away from dawns,
*I like this..but I would change the last line to
"Yet you draw away
from living dawns"
That way you have a kinda pattern. But I like what you were saying. Very creative.*
Afraid
Of touching a drop of dew
Lest it bursts,
And the colors of a sun
*I'd say "the sun" instead of " a sun" Doesn't make much sense to me because there is only one sun*
Or its tender kiss -
Wash off all darkness
And the color of your wings.
*I really liked this stanza. I saw some very original lines and beautiful images.*
Pain is poetic,
For what is sadder than a rainbow,
That has no blue?
*Awww :( flawless ending!!! I think you did a very well job with this. Your ideas are clear and also emotional. I enjoyed this alot. Keep it up hun :) Nik*
