Yellow reminds me of the haze
The haze of innocence
Of bliss
Once everything was yellow
Long ago
Now everything is tinted blue
Like someone holding a sad sad cello
Is darkening the world
There he goes
The sad sad fellow
With his cold dead face
I shoot
I hit him
Right between the eyes
He is dead.
Gone without a trace…...
The color of roses, smiling at you with their soft and comfort smell.
**_Thorns.
_**The color of freshly picked apples, gleaming a bright red,**_
Poison. _**
The news your relative will be okay, as it lights up the room pink,
**_Blood.
_**_This is not about the color red at all, but white, and how actions and people can stain it all. _...

But after a long day of work that doesn’t bother me
When I’m tired at the end of the day
My will power doesn’t have much left to say
I just want some comfort food and drink and watch tv
The evenings are just not the bes...
What does red mean?
Is it the fiery boil of anger saved for someone special?
Is it the deep and dreadful scarlet of blood along the floor?
Is it the candy apple of poison deep inside a heart?
Is it the ruby shade of power that consumes the brain in hold?
Is it the bright and lightning fire of danger in its path?
And all the dread that it represents.
Is it the cardinal of morning and hope th...
Paint the sky
Such a pretty canvas
Sweeping brushstrokes
Blues and grays
and all the colors sunsets are made of
A smear of pigment
a splash of sun
A little brush for a distant bird
A horizon stretching out
from border
to border
Too many clouds clutter the sky
so wipe one off
Too bored?
Dance your bristles into the Northern Lights
Overwhelmed?
Splash a can of purples and blacks
To make it night

Color on the canvas drips together in a river of hues
They mingle and they swirl
Some deep and some shallow
Each molecule touches as they collapse
Together they are desired for a beautiful shade of brown
It colors the cheeks of the women in the hall
At each glance I gain new perspective
The river of color returns to me again
This time it colors the end of her shawl...
