Orange, Violet and Crimson

Don't start 
the dance 
         without 
me
 It is a difficult enough 
path
   without the pain 
of loneliness
   Bright colors 
of love
      are something 
we need to 
experience
   synthenasia wil
help us
     as we float 
down life's river
Later, we must take 
note of the changes
  we have seen 
realizing that 
only the "masters of reality" 
  can truly change 
"life's leaden metal
   into gold" as 
the old tent - maker said
    Don't forget 
what we have 
   shared
 Let your feelings
    be shouted 
out in orange, 
violet and crimson
    Love is waiting 
there 
   and you only 
have to find it once
