Kai Michael Neumann Poet Free verse

Shamrock and Pink Raspberry

it took one glance into your emerald eyes’ kindest beams

for the focus to change and enlighten darkness and pain

to guide my broken refraction towards your olive skin


I felt all verglas thawing vision and join chartreuse blinks

of the moment as light sea foam pastels sprouted lush ferns

presented sage mint and lime moss to the harlequin waiting 

to be brushed by honeydew colour and cinnamon fragrance


my own wilted flowers struggled at first to blossom again

hibiscus cranberry and feverish scarlet had lain abandoned

hastened by drought colour blindness and glanced disrepair


the Little Prince at the time merely a frog awaiting the kiss

looked at the broken thorns presiding over crimson petals

of vulnerable hope shattered kindness lost evergreen shoots


I love you said the candy apple and plumed with the parakeet
