Create Life, Colour Me

Create Life Colour Me
Once upon a barren time, in the days of silent film
Colour code gene was lacking, across the whole wide world
Everything was blackybobs, mattish white and gray
Blackness was the nightiness and whiteness was the day

Then one day, a thunderous storm a thunderous storm so strong
Thunderclaps and lightning bolts crashed on the Earth for long
When the storm subsided, when the sun did shine
On the far horizon danced a rainbow curvy line

Born an introduce of colour, it flickered and it flashed
Across the land at mach one speeds, throwing colour out at last
It painted leaves with shades of green, with textures soft and strong
A hundred green, that had never been seen, we had waited oh so long

It painted streams and rivers blue, the sky was warm red glow
Corn fields sprang with a yellowy hue with rich brown soil below
Poppies came out with a brilliant red, the grasslands swung with yellow 
Across the land this colour thing spread for every woman and fellow

A magic flowed throughout the world with piglets nicely pink
Deep purple fish swam in the seas, there chocolate coloured mink
Never again would things be bland, not now there was tint
It is difficult to imagine, so I will give you a little hint

There was pinks and greens and tangerine blue
Orange and cream and strong colours too
The colours had names with a magical light
They bounced on the dull and they turned it bright
There was of sense of joy and a new sense of fun
Colour was in fashion, it had only just begun
There was android green and atomic tangerine
Blanched almond and bottle green
Dogwood rose with denim and fawn
A thousand greens on the grass to be thrown
Electric purple and electric perth
A thousand million colours that would splash upon the Earth
To mention all the colours would take a thousand years
So spread some joy and colour and throw away the tears

Beach Walk

On an early morning walk of coffee and salt
under a sullen sky filled with the tridents of wings,
I add my footprints beside a blowsy sea (praised be 
Poseidon,) that accepts the given of a northeast wind,
and the still mirror of a summer day.  This ocean's re-
chargeable, my one immutable constant, except for shifting
cobalt, soda bottle green, the edgy, unsettling gray 
of northeast storms.  She alone, resurrects the child in me--
the girl of full moon nights and open windows, the fledgling
woman alone in an old garage apartment in her 
hometown, where a carnelian sun set over fishing 
vessels and empty river-front packing plants.

I share my ocean with other insomniacs.  Runners pass, 
racing the sun to its zenith. Down the beach there is Yoga, 
and a contemplative in his lawn chair watches the hypnotic 
breakers form and reform with their zebra patterns, 
driven, as they are, to decorate the shoreline, to deposit 
spittle for scavenger sanderlings, chasing miniscule 
morsels.  The haughty gulls' absolute arrogance is skewered 
by their spindly legs, negotiated so nimbly, two
seem a single navigation.


Where are the donax when the waves roll back, hard-
wired to burrow their small shells in wet sand?  Are they
history, as in sea oats I may not pick, sand hills I may not 
climb, seines no longer dragged by neighborhood guys
bare-chested in waist deep surf to snare slippery supper. 
"Dommage"!  "Que lastima"!  All of the above.  As for myself,
I sail my colors high, no pity here--"Tout change, tout 
change, tout a' grandi'  like the sea urchin I once 
was, washing away the blemishes of being.

Colour Me

Once upon a time, in the days of silent film
Colour was banned in the whole wide world
Everything was black, white and grey
Black was night and white was day

Then one day, there was a storm so strong
Thunder and lightning crashed on Earth for long
When it cleared, when the sun did shine
On the horizon was a curly line

This was a rainbow of colour,  it flickered and it flashed
Across the land at speeds so fast
It painted leaves with shades of green 
A hundred tints that had never been seen

It painted the streams and the rivers blue
Corn fields sprang with a yellowy hue
Poppies came out with a brilliant red
All across the land this colour thing spread

A magic was flowing throughout  the land
Never again would things be bland
There was pinks and greens and tangerine blue
Orange and cream and other colours too

The colours had names with a magical light
They bounced on the dull and they turned it bright
There was of sense of joy and a new sense of fun
Colour was in fashion, it had only just begun

There was android green and atomic tangerine
Blanched almond and bottle green
Dogwood rose with  denim and fawn
A thousand greens on the grass to be thrown

Electric purple and electric perth
A thousand million colours that would splash upon the Earth
To mention all the colours would take a thousand years
So spread some joy and colour and throw away the tears

Algae

Both you and I breathe the ocean, inhaling the waves, 
With each surf passing through our lungs
we are immersed and each verse of our life is told through the rolling tide,
At the depths of our love desperate vibrations boom within our ears,
Yet tears always fall silently on sodden ground, 
The sea whispers ripples of our old lover’s tales,
But within our shipwrecked bones the only thing
We sink,
We drown and
We anchor for
Is our love. 
Yes, our love there, always love.

And as time passes with azure, lime and scarlet, we become the coral,
Our eyes fluorescent with a feeling of home,
We illuminate the sea with each giving stroke,
Our rainbow hues reflecting against one another’s skin, we are akin
to pearls sleeping in their shells, and with each	
touch our pigment comes alive,
The colours of love there, always love.

The algae spreads beneath our nails, moss green against pale skin,
Withering and wrinkled, our bodies a map of our lives,
With our struggles and woes freckled along the way,
Our arms intertwined amongst seaweed tides,
And bottle green ribbons tangled around our thighs,
We find comfort in our tempest,
Though at times we may drown in this sea of loss,
There is love there, always love.

The Ocean is unforgiving and our life much more so,
But all I know,
Is that I would rather live at the bottom of the sea with you,
Than sail the current alone.

car industry

Automobile industry

At the seaside, the water signaled many colors
pale sober gin, dark hue, then bottle green and pink like a nursery rhyme
no one took notice the sea was warning of a disaster.
It began in the late afternoon when the sun felt tired but hesitated to sink beyond the horizon
So much more to see, and the night lasted until six in the morning.
The cars by the seaside started all at once and
headed towards the bay and into the sea
the bottom of the bay was smooth, and many cars were able to drive far before they drowned, but the battery light lasted a long at night, the bay lit up like a gigantic stage for an opera
Shall we guess, Rusalka? An Italian opera
A water nymph in love with the human world and discovers her sexuality.
There was no way to stop this mass exodus
more and more cars flung themselves into the water in the bay; yes, even patrol cars revolted
and motorized transport came to a halt
when motorcars had gone, it was the motorbike's turn to headless drive into the sea
An island was born
when seabirds had fertilized the islet traffic
cones appeared together with of one way drive
no parking zones and zebra crossings
The world cried out for Elon Musk to come and sort out the problem
in the meantime, a donkey farm in the north of
Guarda, a hilltop town near the Spanish border, made a roaring business renting out their animals.

Message In a Bottle

I’m watching my surroundings
And I don’t know what to do
The world is coming to an end
And I’m trying to warn you.

I’m writing you a message
Which I hope that you’ll receive
And on this parchment written well
I hope that you’ll perceive

The dangers of experiments,
Of waste and luxury,
This planet just cannot sustain
The lives of you and me.

I tried to send it via air
But the planes just will not fly;
They say the air is far too thin
That carbon is the sky.

So then I tried the mail on land
Encountering a quirk
Disease has stricken everywhere
And no one’s left to work.

Then sea it is, I’ll have it float
Within a bottle green,
But when I walked along the beach
There was no water to be seen.

I took it out and sat to think,
I’ll offer it by hand,
But when I reached to pick it up
It burnt into the sand.

I’d write another warning sign
But no pages in my hand,
I’d tell you using word of mouth –
Would you ever understand?

The air, polluted thick and through,
Disease from you to me,
The water’s gone and fires rage,
How can I make you see?

In the Shadow of Avalon

In the shadow of Avalon
where the sweet tangle imparts its loamy scent
as the dew chills on the blades
and trembling grows the aspen and oak
on the shore where solemn waters lie
is a vision of splendor
The beauty of Avalon, reflected in glass
cast across its mirrored surface
Below these still, bottle green depths
in the realm of whispers, 
dwells the lady of the lake
weaving threads of fate into patterns of  destiny
in the tapestry of life 
invoking mystery
rising, she is formed of mist and truth
Fairest lady,
sing to the morning light
sing of the wisdom found in beauty and in pain
reveal the truth concealed in your smile
Beautiful lady
gauzy veil drawn in gray mist
alluring, pale
stir the waters of thought and memory
into streams and rivulets of knowledge
forming pools of consciousness
the eternal lake, spirit of the Goddess
as just beneath the surface she waits
forever in the shadow of Avalon

EMERALD BEAUTY

    Mother Earth under cerulean sky
    dressed in green foliage with lush verdure,
    leafy vegetation and feral bottle green bushes matching with
    glossy green grass in big mass growing in mirth.

   Clad in olive green gown you were stepping down
    from verdant valley to pastoral field,
     harmonizing with viridescent panorama.
    
   Your glimmering attire allured my dreamy dormant desire.
    I listened to my rapid heart beats becoming faster.
    I hastened to meet and address you but wobbling opposed. 
    Pearly passion entirely on confusion cascaded in plenitude,
    resonating in rhapsody on melody of glamour of amour
    as I faced the glistened emerald beauty.

Cliffhanger

Oceanward sail the yachts and liners,
a match stick flotilla in a green whirlpool bath
seen from the dizzying height of the cliff top.
Beside the lighthouse, ghostly echoes
of crashing waves and wheeling gulls
reverberate upwards from sand and rock.
Scents of seaweed, bottle green surf,
bracing, intoxicating, sailing on the stropped edge
of a rainy needlepoint breeze.
All the while black storm heads gather
far and away on the distant horizon,
whilst here stands I, sensory overload
sparking in the fissures and cracks of my brain.
The drop to the glassy black rocks beneath
where white booming breakers smash and erode,
little by little the coastline is eaten
an inch or so each passing year.
Fixed gazing at the raging cauldron
as if answers to the unanswerable will rise to greet me,
I lean and sway in magnetic salt winds
held there in suspense...

Secret Dell

Emerald green throughout the scene,
I’m trapped within the stone,
Every hue of aquamarine and bottle green
The colours of things that grow.

Dappled sunlight filters through,
Light shafts that drift and float
Highlighting the greens of every hue
Picking out every dusty mote

My carpet is of mossy grass soft
Like a wave of soft green feathers
In my little green hidden croft
I sleep lightly in the heathers

The trees of green are old and strong,
Their mighty branches like a roof
Limbs so thick you can walk along
The leaves so big they’re rain proof 

When summer comes the flowers bloom
With every conceivable shade
In my home, there are flowers in every room 
Deep in my green, green glade

Into my secret dell you cannot come,
Because it was made only for me
It is created by a person so gleesome
It’s what my imagination will let me see
