Color Me Dear
Blinding light
Of bright hues
Captivates one’s eye
Never pausing
In its day’s work
Colors drift with time
Shifts from dawn to dusk
Never pausing
With blending pigments
Bleeding into our lives
Daybreak of pastel lilac skies
Gradients of raisin and ebony nights
With fresh juniper air,
Rich pine filling one’s senses
Sweet peridot lime shade
Clouds drifting on and on.
Then delicious jam fevers,
And searing cherry perspirations,
Sky clear as aquamarine.
To honey sweetness and deep pumpkin spice
Warming the skin
From kisses of filtered lemon rays
Leaving umber, dead leaves in it’s wake,
Finally sleek porcelain powder,
Everything blended to ash,
Frost and cold, chilling to the bones.
How scarlet anger flares, hot boiling blood
Simmers to a tranquil cool mint,
calm as still seafoam.
A precious strawberry love,
Dripping of heavy fuschia affection
Even with emerald envies,
deep mossy jealousy murking,
Colors deep and rich
reflecting seasons and beings
More than just sights the eyes find pleasant,
pigments reflecting one’s soul
colors me dearly.
