Colors In the Sun.

the sun shines
it warms my pallid skin
colors seem brighter
though the light will not last
soon it will rain and colors wash out
but it matters not, i dance in the rain anyway
and sing songs to the somber clouds, 
soon they open and let out the light they guard
and it warms my skin once again
only to disappear when i sleep
whispering faint songs of the stars in my ear
as the sky beings to weep.

Very good. Something about the word choices and rhythm remind me of Nikki Giovanni. You have a talent for conveying the sense of "being there" that good writers possess.
