Crystol Woods Poet Other

Color Speaks

Framed

The blank, white space, the charged 
empty canvas…
[                                                 ]
[                                                 ]

Haunting my Slumber
Nudge with sharp–__>pointed elbows< 
My body bruised…
                               … it Bleeds.///
                                                //
                                                 /
Soaks thru the texture of a
 flat stretch___________________of what
Will tell, for it WILL tell eventually…
My deepest, heart felt, soul feeling, 
                              *fears
                                *hopes
                                  *dreams

The indigo of my blood  Shouts,
“RED!, CRIMSON!!,  SCARLET!!!”, for all to see.
Vibrant alive this flow that feeds and feeds. 

The mark( X )
Is there, inevitable and stark
Telling you secrets usually only heard
 in the black of dark..

The eye beholds but let's go- before taking it in. 
Sooo…+ add the lavender of desire
 and look again
Sooo…+ add the lavender of desire
 and look. 

Oh verde!
Awe Blanko!
Together you wait. 
Senior, Señorita , that sweet breath you take?
Tumbles over and over
                                  Through and through
Until silence abides 
in the broadcast of blue.

David Crandall August 30, 2024 at 2:19 PM Crystol, a wild, creative way to fill in a blank canvas, using the visuals of formatting and characters. I really like the last 4 lines. Crystol Woods August 31, 2024 at 9:33 AM You got it David! We must think in similar ways... I'm so glad you liked it... it's very vulnerable writing something that comes from such an unedited place lol. Tysm! Xo
