Powder blue, Celeste, Periwinkle, Baby

Powder blue, Celeste, Periwinkle, Baby;
the tones of the sky, winds of a lady
   fierce; Teal and Viridian, crossing lights eyes
  Indigo watched, their verdure her prize

as mother Zafire her Indigo embraced
giving horizon a  long Steel pause; Cyan his face
   etched empty promise, Cornflower-lies,
   skin of soul's ceiling, Palatinate demise

devolving Royal Duke Dodger, their cards in the trash
by Ultramarine's ocean stairs stares Iris, smashed;
   plural the blue in varied display,
   Byzantine mirror of peace portrayed

  action describing, the morph and her flavor
  his tongue yon mountain, a glacial savor
