Best Colorless Poems


Colorless, Naked and Numb
this cooler air seems to mottle the trees
spinning leaves like my thoughts in winded dance
befalling trails of tears on crimson breeze
as they fall grounded beneath the oak's stance

i hear the crumble of death beneath me
as i shiver within its strident gasp
chaotic roots reach out beneath...

Colorless
I am a product of my next of kin
so in their image, through evolution 
determined pigmentation of my skin
of human historic distribution,

a complexion that I am powerless 
though never shall I ever be ashamed
typecast as white, to me I'm colorless
yet in my veins my red...

Colorless Imagism
I will never forget the day my eyes saw you for the very first time
My heart shook, and my hands began to sweat
I felt my soul walk out of my body and hold your hand
Never had I felt such a feeling before
I then knew love...

     "Colorless Journey"



a colorless jorney is life without magic
a distorted view without goals is deemed tragic
to ignore the beauty of a silvery star
or soft glow of golden Moonlight from afar
a pathway of darkness is life without magic
a desolute existence of breathing...

Colorless Beauty
Wet branches bare and black as night,
iced with snow, so pure and white,
contrast stark burned in my sight,
a snapshot stored with cold delight.

The lack of color, so complete,
the beauty made my knees so weak,
a slight wind made the branches creak,
I held my breath, afraid to...

Colorless, Sweet-Smelling Mind Control
Hello, Skeptical Mind Controlled

I dance in the pale moon light
under the devils nine delights 
he watch's me play without a care   
under the technical deceit of mind bending needled wear 

You many be a skeptic 
so the devil laughs 
but he will put...

The Colorless Truth
Blue does not need the colour of the sea to paint the sky 
Within the reach from my balcony 
Nor do I need defeated eyelids to ride the morning 
I do need, at least, take off my oxygen garment  
To revive Me on the...

Colorless Confessional


It was as if time had resisted capture
hid its most precious commodities
averted its eyes lest you see into its soul
withheld all but the extremes of color

Everything became a negative reflection
black on white, white on black
variations of both accounting for contrast
allowing the moment to be...

My Colorless Life
All of my days suddenly turned colorful 
Because you are here by my side
Crying is no longer a part of my life
Darkness is no longer my company
Ever since you are present in my life

For the rest of my existence 
Give you my entire being
Having your...

Oh Thou, Am I Colorless?
Oh thou, am I colorless?
The world is lit.
The light does shine.
As  with my ancestors, freedom shall ring and freedom shall be mine.
The light has burned as a message throughout time.
The light is love and the love so does and so will continue to shine.
The...

Colorless Color
The color of my blood is clear
Before i drink that beer
And then is shoots like a spear
And then am filled with a cheer
Which is followed by an extreme fear

My body hosts this liquid
This basic valuable fluid
Which sometimes flows like it's glued
Which sometimes is diluted if...

Cornered In a Colorless World...
the steam from my winded breath 
hits the cool air
and lingers among lifeless trees 
left black and bare 
like a group of hunters, winter has crept
through the lands
the snowy crystals cover me like the
dry desert sands
 
these winter flakes land on the earth 
and seem...

I send my heart to caress your hair
To console your heart, sinking in tears 
I send my heart to hold your body
moving forward through a love's agony

Ten dead
Same story
Different town
White black
Black white
Black black
White white
What color

Does it matter?

Ten dead
Social media
Meaningless memes 
Television screens
Yellow tape
Flashing lights
Talking heads 
Counting colors

More important?

Ten dead
Mommas cry
Ask why
Who hates
Hate who
You know
Black white
Me you
Stop please
Stop when
Stop now
Hating is
Colorless

Ten Dead
Who are we?...

Premium Member Notes On a Colorless Society
notes on a colorless society…!?

today God anointed 
Earth with his tears
and crowned her 
with his rainbow
of love
unity and diversity…
as is the day’s light 
and the darkness of night
life, unity and pursuit of happiness is not about being colorblind
it’s about beings putting themselves in the right...
