a poem inspired by blue

You first noticed me from your large cobblestoned stoop,

far out of my reach.

I looked back up at you from a vast, oceanic blue. 

From that moment on, an unspoken bond I vowed to keep.

I am a cerulean sea beast,

You are an olive prince.

All but for this pain in my chest,

Never a more troublesome love commenced. 

I hid under your castle's docks,

hoping some well-traveled persons would talk...of you.

Oh my prince, of the castle next to the sea,

You are spoken of so rarely.

I gather you are quiet, withdrawn, and small,

Perhaps they would take you more seriously if you were tall.

I am spoken of even less,

I am "creature", who cometh up from the murky deep,

Not a suitable match for someone of your pedigree. 

But I can't stop my emotions from falling on cold stones, 

they are the waves at your shore,

consistently whispering "I love you evermore".
