Shades

Do you bleed?
I suppose drips of crimson
onto onyx drops of night
and propose in shades of melancholy
amber light

Do you dance?
Water drops of sapphire
onto faces of frightened
cobalt stares in 
azure light

Do you feel?
I... so listless in white
drop grey tears of sorrow
and repose in all
shades of light.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
