My Colours

When I search for blue Which blue should I use Is my blue a violet Or is my blue a blue When I need a sunset Of orange and yellow hues To describe a moment Making words a view Today my red is velvet Yesterday a rose On lips red is passion And without words they propose The sky has expressions Shades of grays and blues Sometimes it shows its rainbow A splinder of its colorful use Green gives birth to many colours Innumerable flowers and fruit They smell and taste delicious With sented petals and flavorful roots Colours tell us something Words can never supply Colours measure sweetness And colours measure life In the winter is snow Made of purest white In the midnight hour Black is the darkest night When we want attention We make our colours bright To mirror images in our minds And gives the readers sight Exotic and erotic names Doesn't fit my fancy But there are those that tightly hold Strong colours in their fantasies When red is mauve and purple fuchsia And whites confused with peril Seems like colours were once all men But now some colours are girls

Cont. The train was filling with Cardinal fans as we passed the stadium. I had given her my number and soup address that she stuffed in her bra. Then the train was packed like sardines.and i looked over just as she was getting sick. It was clear and sticky and started to smell. I started to look for napkins but only had a bus route map. Which I gave her as the train pulled into the next stop. It was then that I bailed. I've never had to abandon ship before.. but now I know how it feels.

that woman hurling must've done wonders for your poetical inspiration, I've composed many poems in my head on public transport but never in that 'situation'

I laughed about it all day today. She's probably forgotten forgotten the whole thing. I'll remember it forever. But it will go down as one of my best poetry stories. Of when I was meeting a woman.

The story behind the piece. Starts as scribbling from an intoxicating nite. The next day I saw some salvagable lines and went to work. I wrote for two day's sometimes one line at a time. But as I crossedthe mMississippi on the train I wrote the last line. It was perfect. I got off the train and this woman was there ad if sent by heaven to listen to my poem. I read it she loved it. I could smell wine on her breath as she asked for my name and number. We got on the next train together. Cont.
