Almost Blue

Almost blue - 

Like the sun in your eyes
Like your leathery smile
Like the hairs dribbling down the spine
Like the sky is hiding in plain sight 

Almost blue -
Like the roses on your skin
Smelling like a heaven in spring
Like the waters down your arc
Touches me thru every beep
In your heart 

Almost blue -
Without a trace of truth
Full of fantasy in a fluke
Leave you a thousand kiss
As I lay down just the fool

Almost blue -
Like a rainbow in the night
You and I now hardly fight
I wish I could only fly
To your hands and never die.
