Premium Member Rose-Coloured Glasses
The calamity of the world, The cries of hunger ring so loud, The wars slaughtering so many— My rose-coloured glasses I wear. Wildfires keep burning so brightly, Lives destroyed all in one big sweep. Families weeping and searching— My rose-coloured glasses I wear. The greed of money knows no end, Men with egos at the table, Denouncing the name of the Lord— My rose-coloured glasses I...

Rose Coloured Glasses
I want rose coloured glasses, To watch the world burn and misty mushrooms fill up the sky. I want rose coloured glasses, To watch the sun's rays shine from window tops. I want rose coloured glasses, To accept my defeated fate in the ruins of the golden antiquity. I want rose coloured glasses, To keep breathing through the glass piercing my soul. I...

The brightly-coloured birds
Hurriedly they flew into the bright sky Their feathers glowing underneath the sun And with their sweet songs The animals all lay awoken by their voices. As the day draws to an end They pick up their harvest And store them in their nests. They cuddle their little ones With feathers that can brighten up the night. They sleep peacefully and soundly In the...

Looking through these rose-coloured glasses, you are the perfect one for me. Even though I've been told different , no faults do I see. You are the one that I have chosen so I will try my very best to overlook any little flaws and put all doubts to rest. No one is perfect , so they say, but you are perfect in...

Coloured People
Betty was blue, She was born that way, Her friends said you’re funny, But Betty said “Hey, All of you are brown, black or pink, ?And that’s far more amusing, or so I think.”...

Premium Member From Monochrome To Coloured Sight
Before the day turned into night, When things made sense amid the light, When darkness was a shade of fright, When I saw life in black and white... Life in colour brings confusion. Do I see truth or illusion? Must transcend mental contusion- Processing feels like intrusion. The night compels one now to take This challenge on for ones own sake. Learn from success and...

Premium Member Coloured Dogs
Coloured Dogs Grey is the dog that haunts and whines; Whose boredom curls, whose mist entwines; Whose ennui dulls a lively mind, Whom inspiration deadens. Blue is the dog that grips the heart - Turns melancholia into art, Who tears the light of hope apart, And drowns all joy and laughter. Yellow’s the dog who runs and hides, Who shrinks from life’s high winds and...

Premium Member A Dream of a Rainbow Coloured Family
A dream of a Rainbow coloured family In the ocean there is a raging storm And a lot of boats With rudders that are shattered, Compasses lost, sails that are torn. And dreams that are faded or tattered With hopes that seem crushed or battered Under the heavy weights of despair. And we are not able to see each other Respond,...
