Color Me You

colors rule this day
an abundance of blues
rule my beating carmine
under the heat of gold

walking along beige grains
i hold your fallow
you are true sapphire
we sit on jade
discuss my ex white

an ivory sun spray
a chartreuse periwinkle magenta saffron shaded arc

bite viridian rind
surrounded amaranth
juices magnolia and blush flow

you lay a magenta on me
wave a tea rose goodbye

i stay
watch an eggplant sunset

stroll home
in a lamp lit super black night

reflect on my colored day
thank the colorless heavens
my friend who held me up

i make it through
another cobalt day

Maurice What wonderfully written words about the beauty in this world and around us that we don't notice or appreciate the way we should. Thank you for the great comment on my Quotes poem.

This is stunning. How often we overlook all the colors around us, even within us. Beautiful.
