Icy Blue Umbra
Stars drift by, the cold touch of space embraces me.
Ice cold, chills up my spine, accompanied by glowing from a million silver candles.
The colors are vivid and beautiful, indescribable by words alone.
This chilled and beautiful void around me, I don’t feel so alone.
I reach out my hand, and the blood within runs cold,
My heart racing, the thumping feels so strong like the fury of a storm.
To my shock, my hands touch another, my fingers lace with what feel like others.
I don’t fight back at this tender touch for even a second.
This void feels less cold, the emptiness fades, I’m not alone.
A faint blue aura, icy and beautiful and unique
I tighten my grip on the hands ever so slightly, I feel so close
I close my eyes, taking it all in, the touch of another, this aura, the colors, the beauty of it all.
Space is full of beauty, and time to discover is sadly so limited.
My breath eases as my eyes remain closed,
I’m soon holding hands with the cold and empty void once again.
The icy blue aura slowly fades away like a breeze, gone without a trace.
Space is all that remains, the vivid colors slowly dying out…
I’m alone once again...

I honestly don't feel like there's one definate way to interpret this poem. Because in a literal sense it's just a story about a person (Not Specifically Male or Female) floating through space and feeling a figure or an "aura" as its described. I think that most people say that it's about losing something or the feeling of loneliness, if that's how they choose to interpret it, then thats what it's about. The way the reader chooses to describe what the poem is about, and that's what I kind of go for when I choose to write.
