Tell me, Iris,
Did you know we would
Meet like this?
I watched as the car pulled
Up the 
          Cobalt
                    Blue
                              Drive.

Funny how things
Are blue in the dark
Without my glasses

I imagine your 
          Blue
                    Irises
As I watch you
                                       From across the fire pit
The warm hues
Colliding with the blue
Of the night on your beautiful 
          Smiling
                    Face.

I wish I knew
What to say. 

I wish I had a new
          Poem
For every time I wanted
To speak with you

Oh, Iris

I’m so blue.
