The Pure Blue Sky Poem by Jon Blanes

Under a burning sun
deepening shadows
in your flame-like hair
become spears of fire
that meet a pure blue sky.
Self ablaze, your golden contours
contrast against mountains
that embrace your shadows.
The rivers call your name
and your eyes burn
like stars yearning for home.
Your lips blossom
with wordless growth
and your feet stand firm
in the earth below you.
Your fingers outstretch,
love falling between them
as your heart opens
with the blood of a rose.
Like the bird that flies overhead
in the pure blue sky,
I feel your heat
and see your blazing heart.
