Mystic Rose Rose Poet Free verse

Colors of the Sunrise

Shades of every color nap behind my eyes  
hoodwinked by sleep I forget to remember  
the chosen colors of my last sunrise;  
Yes,  its a game she likes to play,  
hide then seek until tomorrow   
waiting for my open-eyes,   
"dawn's debut "
While I, knee deep in slumber 
follow the reel in black and white,  
she fans her skirts on Eastern time
while I embed at nine;
    
I claim the color black and sleep until dawn,  
beneath the azure memory, of her brawn .
