(First-prize winner of TryHardElephant's Colorful Poetry contest)
Up here it seems malaise pervades the air,
And living takes the pleasures out of you,
Nothing's ever just and nothing's fair,
Let's see if I can sell you: Midnight Blue
The walk across the water hurt like hell,
And crucifixion failed me, I am through.
Triplicate trouble, well that's just as well,
I guess I can pay for some: Midnight Blue
You sorrow remotus, in terni, I've heard,
In a year you shall say “'Twas then I withdrew!”
Are you off kilter? Unbalanced or blurred?
You'll feel uplifted by my: Midnight Blue
Cattle are lowing, as light falls apace,
A soft haze comes in to my field of view,
Suddenly, rapidly, flying through space,
It's the color of ennui: Midnight Blue
