In Blue
losing myself
in blue eyes
that plunge
the very essence of me
to unfathomable depths
of azure
hurled to highest stratosphere
a human rocket
launched by penetrating gaze
of cobalt light sky
surrendering to
blue eyes
where dark lashes dart
flit – soar – dance
as birds above whitecapped waves
on twin sapphire seas

me perdre
dans les yeux bleus
qui plongent
l’essence même de moi
aux profondeurs insondables
d’azur
lancé à la plus haute stratosphère
une fusée humaine
lancé par le regard pénétrant
de la lumière du ciel de cobalt
s’abandonner à
yeux bleus
où les cils noirs de fléchettes
flit – s’envoler – danse
comme les oiseaux au-dessus des vagues plafonee en blanc
sur les deux mers de saphir
wonderful. second line – “which” should be “that” we use “which” when the thing we’re talking about is the only thing of that kind in the world. we use “that” when we’re talking about one of those things but there are also others.

You are right, I corrected it… I translated, but English is not my native language, so I make mistakes also.. 🙂
Thank you Rich. 🙂

you’re welcome. both my kids take french classes and love it. i’ve had four years of spanish, but it doesn’t sound like music, like french does.

I am Romanian Rich… I speak English, French, German, Italian, a bit of Spanish… still, the only thing I know so far is that I know nothing… I am still not perfect, still making mistakes… but the good part is that learning new languages opens new windows towards new countries, poems, feelings, music… If I would have time I would still learn…

I wish I had this enthusiasm when I was 15…. I would have learned more…
Thank you Rich.

sometimes we do have enthusiasm at 15, but we don’t have the maturity to know what to do with it.
April 10, 2012 at 02:11
exactly… by the time we find out what existence is all about, we lose some of the enthusiasm and we get involved with life and problems…

if you’re still alive, then you still have life in you to work with.

yes, till the last breath…
