Blue Mourning

By: Kendra Yvette

the blue dawn of my mornings,
marred by the mourning
of a theoretical death,
philosophical in nature

from the caterpillar’s cocoon,
ensconced in the treacherous maw of black
I wish to rise like a moth
and flutter near the light

the blue dawn of my mornings,
marred by the mourning
of a once colored canvas
that now sits grey

here lies the corpse of the days
where there were no greys
and the colored threads of fate
twisted and coiled to create
a mural of flower petals that gleamed in the sun

the blue dawn of my mornings,
marred by the mourning,
of the old days of sprite
where jubilee was suffused
from dusk to dawn

for the yellow rays of my days
are in no way a place
for my dedication to dolor
so, the blue dawn of my mornings,
I’ll allot to my mourning
