Blue

Compassion is the cure for sadness.

Blue

Why dost my darling look so pale, so blue?

I have searched the constellations for a reason;

I have searched for every melody, in every season.

Still, I cannot make thee fly, as the ones before that flew.

Is there a remedy to this affliction of yours?

Are there any wonders I can perform,

Any shanties I can storm?

For you, I’d sail the seas of burden, to their very shores.

Just slip me a smile, underneath this velvety door,

Glisten, as you did once, in your feverish youth,

Dance, as you did once, with the Spanish gypsies.

I shall be everything you love; nothing you abhor.

Because, in all sincerity, in all truth,

I’d rather see that smile, that blossoms spring’s daisies.

I hope that in the search to find a reason to her blues, you have managed to bring a smile upon her face. It is so true, when the one we love is not happy, our mood changes and our heart would go to every length to make them brighten up, just like a summer's sky.

delightfully said. Thank you.

Such a touching piece describing a love so deep that the speaker wants only happiness for the one he adores. I love the image of sailing the seas and searching the stars to find a cure for the blues. Well-written Shane!
