age'ed blue

unique this type of age'ed blue
colors this piece of fragile glass
for only that can make this kind of hue
age and only that
thin as a shell of dove
so very delicate
seems that a stray breath of wind
will shatter what time could not
i think as it lies within my hands
and twist with knotted strength
arms corded along their length
just so
now i know what you might think
if such a shape were of luck
its shards would shear my flesh
in final death it takes
drinking from me my red
but i found so long ago
under the right pressures just so
it will twist a fragile shape
if held to its breaking
never more
you can twist and bend
and create
such a wonder
though the very crystal of its glassine shape
might scream its silence
your eyes themselves taking in this cry
knownin'  it has to... break...
knowin' it has to... happen...
yet with disbelief ever there
watching for it to break
knowin' without a doubt it has to... yet still it never does....
yet it has to....
and should this color of age'ed blue be love...
