The Glass Bangles

The glass bangles
The red glass bangles
The red glass bangles that adorned 
The brown, round wrist
The translucent, red glass bangles
That so beautifully captured the sun’s beam
To imprison it within itself
And subtly gleam
The red glass bangles 
That adorned the brown, round wrist
Restlessly waiting to tinkle
At the slightest tilt
It decorates the plump wrist
Like the rainbow in the sky
Making the wrist more feminine
And appealing to the eye.
The delicate glass bangle
Cannot boast of a long life
But in the short span of time
Cause splashes of happiness 
To a life full of strife…..

Color of the Universe

If they had told me black
I would have nodded back,
that solemn knowing kind,
in absolutes, you find.

But now they say it's green,
by conjecture and unseen,
a faintly turquoise hue
perhaps will match my yew.

(Full needled in my yard
It’s stubby trunk most hard;
It’s top of oval bloom
renounces Winter’s gloom)			

But later then they say
it turns to red someday
and so with stars it goes                     
with us to old age woes                   

And so I sit and think
while sipping on my drink
am I a red or green
in someone’s color scheme?          

Or do I get to choose
and wager not to lose 
of all the reds and greens
in my garden, I have seen

I think I chose my rose
It’s scent across my nose.
Has never failed me yet
so red is what I bet.

Red

Oh red
Oh red 
my orban shade oh red 

6 years 8 month  i looked 
for my orban shade of red 
If red is blue and blue is red
Then my sole is blue for red 
You were always right in front of me
But a word could not be said
Oh red 
Oh red 
my bluest shade of red
