Ultramarine. Noun.

A brilliant deep blue pigment originally obtained from grinding semi-precious stones lapis lazuli into powder. The name comes from the Latin ultramarinus, literally "beyond the sea".


That is what his eyes had looked like. Blue beyond the sea.

How a single look could made me so homesick that I'm dry-mouth and breathless. Like ocean by the cliff under the brilliant sunlight, cold and warm at the same time. Like the last patch of blue sky in the dusk, right between the radiant red and the overwhelming black.

Like death.

Kill me. I said without a sound. Kill me. 

If I can't live, at least let me die.


I want to hold, or be held by that blue.
