All the Colours

Red

Red as a bleeding heart's
last dying breath
gasping, pleading
for release.

Red as your hair
in the rays of the sunset
russet locks falling sofly
covering your face.

Red as my love
burning for you
through veins screaming
seething in rage.

Red as my passion
need to save
and regret
singeing the past.

Red as my pain
crying tears
of my broken heart
shattered.

Redhot...
bloodred...
valentine...
baby mine.

seeing stars
seeing red
seeing you

beautiful you

gazing back at me
through the haze
of clouds drifting
off to brilliant

blue.



Blue

Blue as the sky
during an indian summer
and the sun's heat
burning down.

Blue as the flowers
on a soft spring day
a soft velvety bed
stretching out.

Blue as your eyes
twinkling with stars
laughing at me
laughing at you.

Blue as the feelings
of a love lost
broken heart
faded dreams.

Blue as the ocean's tides
swallowing the sun
swallowing the tears
expanding to forever.

Bluebells...
Blueblood...
tasting of chocolate
feeling of silk.

dreaming of heaven
dreaming in blue
dreaming of you

beautiful you

gazing up at me
smiling that smile
laying framed with the
majesty of a bed of

green.



Green

Green as jealousy
to see you go with
Him, even knowing
I will see you again.

Green as greed
wanting to keep
you here, always
with me.

Green as the feelings
rising up my throat
sickly nauseous
as you leave.

Green as the flecks
found deep within
your eyes, closing slowly
goodnight.

Green as a lush
clover field
blanketed in luck
covering you.

Greeneyed...
Greenback...
luck and money
monster.

feeling wistful
feeling green
feeling you

beautiful you

lying there
oh so peaceful
lowered down
into earth

brown.



Brown

Brown as the dirt
our land, our home
mother earth beneath
my feet.

Brown as the chocolate
sounds of your voice
and kisses velvety
sweet.

Brown as your skin
tanned in the sun
bleached leather
warmed and soft.

Brown as your scent
of earth and sweat
faintly musky
wholely yours.

Brown as sepia
toned memories
of the past, visions
of the future.

Brown eyes...
Chocolate brown...
earth and sky...
entertwined.

tasting home
tasting brown
tasting you

beautiful you

looking at me
falling into your
gaze, swallowing
me in cavernous

black.



Black

Black as the caverns
in your eyes holding
all the stars in the skies
hypnotizing.

Black as a moonless night
deep space, velvet blanket
holding us close
in sleep.

Black as bleak
feelings of helplessness
hopelessness in
the unknown.

Black as a blind man's sight
stumbling, trying to find
his way in a world with no
clear path.

Black as your mood
storm clouds rolling in
when all you hold dear
is threatened.

Black sheep...
Black hole...
sucking me into
the folds.

falling into space
falling into black
falling into you

beautiful you

holding me in your arms
good night, sleep tight
dream of heaven's
unearthly

white.



White

White as a sheet
stained in fear
heart pounding
in ears.

White as heaven
clouds drifting by
angel feathers
sweeping cheeks.

White as purity
in your smile
in your love
dove in flight.

White as the peaks
on waves crashing
to the shore, crashing
in us.

White as your skin
creamy pale
flushed in rose
from our heat.

White hot...
White noise...
thundering...
cloudy.

hearing pounding
hearing white
hearing you

beautiful you

breaths gasping out in
puffs and through the
haze of white we see morning
coming in soft tones of

grey.



Grey

Grey as death
wiping color
from life
dust to dust.

Grey as ashes
burned memories
burned dreams
we all fall down.

Grey as not seeing
in black and white
not finding the lines
to color between.

Grey as a daisy
turned wishing well
seeds of dreams floating
on the wind.

Grey as a new dawn
before the sun breaks
over the horizon
to paint.

Dove grey
Grey as the grave
wing in flight
today.

running in mist
running in grey
running to you

beautiful you

making wishes
in the early morning light
while watching the sun rise
beautifully bright

yellow.



Yellow

Yellow as friendship
kindness and love
talking and holding
comfort.

Yellow as your halo
glowing on me
showing me the way
to you.

Yellow as the sun
high in the sky
bright as you
soaking it up.

Yellow as the daisies
pushing up the ground
daisies you planted just
for me.

Yellow as the fear
running down my spine
swalling me whole at
empty thoughts.

Yellow gold...
Yellow days...
golden rays...
golden rings.

thoughts of forever
thoughts of yellow
thoughts of you

beautiful you

shining back at me
the sun behind you
sinking down
burning into sunset

red.
