Best Colored Poems

It's quiet whisper stirs my languid mind
Inviting coffee colored memories
A young man's face with future yet defined
Each vapored breath a page in history

Familiar apparitions reappear
Whose images I dare not chase away
The roads they traveled, washed out by my tears
This morning's chill a bridge to yesterday

Then...

He sees the rose in her cheeks
She sees the wrinkles of time in her mirror

He sees the long, flowing brunette of her shining hair
She sees wisps of grey, dull hair that she can't manage

He sees shine and twinkle in her blue eyes
She sees her reflection...

it's raining again,
been this way for days;
swirls of graying clouds
hiding the blue of skies
and my eyes

my lips 
seem wetter
than everything else
that rises
without sun,

the river's rising again,
perhaps higher than my own ego
as i lose myself
in the pockets of current.

current, and past events
build this dam 
against what...

 Very many years ago,
 In the land of rich men called NO,
 Bobo, a poor man, had nowhere to go,
"Give me a little space to stay", he pleaded, but lo,
"Your place is out of the city," they shooed him and so, 
 Outside he...

Like colored specks on a dull canvas 
You can live your life 
The different shades of your array 
Will make an elegant display 

The sometimes blurred lines 
You create 
Will be your unique story
Not just for your eyes but for the world to see 
Trust...

It’s easy to remember the good times
Never thinking about the pain
Rose colored memories of sunshine
We forgot about the rain
Times were so much harder then
Sometimes not a penny to our name
Fighting just to make ends meet
But I’d go back there just the same
It seems we were...

He didn't have a coat of many colors
he had many coats in different colors
each day he wore a different one
whatever struck his fancy, his mood
whatever made me feel suave, cool
whatever made him feel mannishly approved

He changed those colors
in kaleidoscope speed
so fast that it seemed
he had...

So many memories I have are summer-colored, like those walking-down-the-lane days recalled in various hues of green. Green for Grandpa’s cornfields spread all around us and green for the grass on which my sisters and I used to run and play.

Crowned with a tiara,precious white,
crashing at the heels turquoise tide.
here all known colors exude through ,
at every step diversities brew.

The winds of past,
would forever last.
waltzing around the weaver's needle,
or reverberating through the artisan's chisel.

through the mystic roads,
clad in saffron robes.
saints chase the ultimate solution,
--a path...

I slid down the rainbow
Yet you couldn't see
all my colourful friends
escaping insanity

Unicorns and fairies 
dancing in rainbow light
If we weren't camouflaged 
we might give you a fright

Some friends are bright yellow
others are quite deep blue
Seven colours to choose
many wore more than two

My friend, Count Dracula
is...

he gathers bits of colored glass he finds
the odd bouquet of flowers past their prime 
the flotsam from the street
once useful in a former time
some torn out pages from a well-worn book
to kindle fires, or take another look
no reason and no rhyme
to what goes in...

Rose colored glasses

a fantasy view perceived

splendid get away

almost not wanting to leave

everyone should own a pair......

The naked night, the wailing wind; 
leaves in their flight are summers end.
Betwixt occult and morning’s light 
moon stands, it’s her birthright.

Ghost-nests revealed in abandoned limbs; 
wind wails and peals its adieu hymns.  
Birds left will feed on frozen meals; 
squirrels will plead for...
