evening sky

seeping through the curtains
you cast a blue glow
onto my world

without you
all i have are the
blacks and whites
the greys
of uncertainty

shades of experiences
discolour
the perception
of life

the reds
of passion
fade into
nothingness

the pure white
of innocence
of childhood
marred
by colours

the golds and silvers
of joy
and riches
are spent
on frivolous pursuits
of pleasure

but your blue
your beautiful blue
come to me
through that window
though shortlived
brings me the calm
and peace
for me to see again

the colours
of a beautiful life
