Pregnant Blue

 ,Blue, the dispirited lifeless one.. 
Blue, the dejected throbbing of the heart.. 
Blue, the downcast sky of the obscure sun.
Blue, the blasphemous ideas to depart.. 
Blue, the aristocratic blue blooded haughty men.. 
Blue, racy and robust quenching  drink.. 
Blue, the puritanical tight laced to be dismissed again.. 
Blue, the dreary tears drown with every blink..

The beauty and moods of blue.. Indeed u so rightly pointed out the spectacular combination of the blue with gold of the sunset..
I guess I got drawn to the tranquility and solitude of the color...
Thanks for sharing your comments

Blue has always be a favourite colour and it's always intrigued me
how it became synonymous with dejection and sadness/misery.
What better combination than blue (of the sky) and gold (of the sun) to lift the spirits?
