under grapefruit moons 

without spoons 

 

day drives us off 

the bed where we left 

 

doing what we have to 

makes us feel orange and blue

 

nothing too extreme 

nothing so deep

 

that it’d kill you quick 

leave you breathless 

 

thinking about it always 

with color schemes revisited 

 

the palette’s drawn 

on from dusk to dawn 

 

bathed in light 

in a blue calm

 

azure clear as you

feel the warm mood return

 

what we feel 

can only be described 

 

with those little words, 

orange and blue
