Blue is the color of
his eyes as he sails the sea, the waves reflecting in his eyes, as he
leaves her.
Blue; her cheeks as she
toils in the winter snow without him.
Blue is the sapphire
mounted on the golden ring that he hand-picks for her at the jewelry
shop.
Blue; the feather she
puts beneath her pillow each night, waiting for the perfect day to
spring the question.
Blue was what he was
every day he was away from his beloved on the mainland without
comforting words.
Blue was the color of
her eyes as she scanned the skies for hope, lonely, waiting, as from
the corners of her brilliant orbs spills tears reproducing an image
of the clouds in their berth.
Blue was the color of
the sky the day he returned in summer.
Blue was the color of
the jewel on the same golden band he had purchased on his leave as it
glinted in the sun plastered in a perfect sky.
Blue was the color of
her overalls as she ran forth to greet him with her bare arms, sweat
gleaming on her face, a mane of golden hair wreathing her face and
flaring from her back like angelic wings.
Blue was his bandanna,
cresting his head, the loose ends flapping relentlessly in the wind.
And together, running into each other as one, they were a rainbow, gracing the island with their colorful presence as happiness befell them.
Red was for the color
of her cheeks as he planted a kiss on her lips, dry from working in
the hot weather.
Orange was for the
cheesy tie that Kai had thrown around his neck that, no matter how
many people told him that it was in bad taste, Jill could tell him
just as many times that it looked wonderful on him.
Yellow was for the
grains of sand that squeezed between their toes after a long walk on
the beach.
Green was for the stem
of the fresh rose that he presented her with a thorn on which she
pricked her thumb, but loved it anyway.
Purple was the color of
his shirt the night he picked her up for their first anniversary
date.
And blue was for the feelings of loneliness they knew they would never feel again.
