Short Colorblind Poems

She is red and green
and I live in black and white 
She showed me color...

Black, white together just watching their lives go by, the sea colorblind

What shade of love is so divine
Pure love my dear is colorblind
We capture love in this hourglass
Each grain of love, reclaim your past...

I knew a fellow Locked in his own mind
Everything around him was colorblind
  The right places 
  The right faces.
Were the only correct things he could find?...

If my melancholy can polish bliss
Sifting dust of distress for pebbles' shine
Crack a rocky lair to a gemstone mine
What colors do my tunnel vision miss?

We must be colorblind,
Those who know say,

We must be race blind,
Those who know say,

No color to see,

No race to blame,

No mayhem,

No pain,

Insanity...

White pages stare
	   at the blood stains of the past
White virgin cries then dies
	   red wine to the victor
Roses so blue
	   tell tales in the wind
Judges three, older than all of thee
	   all of them colorblind...

I care not
For the color of one's skin.
I care only
For what beauty is within.
I care for
The heart that makes the man.
I care for the person
Who does all he can.
I care for
The soul.
I care for the person
As a whole....

It is white and gray
               Snow covered ground all around
                      Gray skies hang above
                      A colorblind view to see
                       Inside, I am still happy

Found out I was colorblind, it came right out of the purple
Maybe a bit off color, that's a color of a different turtle
How weird is this cat
Something's got detached
In the dictionary the definition of me says fertile!...

We have only our perceptions,
but how honest can they be
Where one man sees the color red,
the colorblind can’t see

When trapped in three dimensions,
we must push against the walls
Until we’re free of all constraints
—and clarity befalls

(Wayne Pennsylvania: December, 2020)...

Today I woke up colorblind
My wake up call was gray
I shuddered at my purgatory
It shuddered the same way
I got up, found my state of ruin
We chatted over tea
It dug into my heavy heart, 
My soul it seeked to glean
A shame I woke up colorblind
And tomorrow I will too
For I miss the loving shades of green
Of yellow and of blue

Justice

Justice
Colorblind love
Equality for all
Embrace mankind by character.
Treat others as you want to be treated.
Stand up for the rights of all men.
Speak up against bias.
Rise together!
Justice

Red, orange, blue, yellow,
green, violet, and indigo.
These are nature’s colors on display.
Most people can see them any day.
However, some people are not right.
They live in a world of black and white.
What can they do when flowers look like a cloud?
Their privilege to see colors is not allowed.
Everything sighted is in shades of gray.
Those who are colorblind are living this way....

Through the white's of your eye
you only see white....
through the white's of my eye
i see the color of rainbow's
through the white's of your eye
you see those to control
through the white's of my eye
"eye"see color's to hold

Colorblind....a human crime

Beauty in eye of beholder
strength given to those who can shoulder
......imperfection's.......
in a less than perfect world.........

My rainy muse
clouds my mind's vision.
Colorblind to this deep blue
sea of tear-filled ambiguity.
These dim thoughts of mine want to drown me in it.
Though, I can't even swim in here.
Weights keep me down to the bottom.
Please...I cannot...
...breathe now...

One’s color is 
      	
		        not Black    
               	 	not Brown
			not Red
                        not White
		        not Yellow	

                	but Human

People tend to be intellectually colorblind
Trained not to see what is
the one color 
that contains in it 
all the colors of race

We need to establish 
a new intellectual color wheel  
ONE with Human at the center 
in order to have universal peace...

It feels like defeat
Built up, to let down
A dream is complete
But, joy wasn’t found

My senses disperse 
I become colorblind
Not what I rehearsed
Before, in my mind

I pray and conspire
I cling to the hope
I tend to the fire
But only get smoke

The waves are on mute
The salt fails to burn 
Disappointment, acute
It pains to discern

It’s tragic, to see
Expectations peak
Sprawled before me
But senses are weak...

Sometimes I wish I could
Be like you
To see the world in a rainbow of color
And witness every hue

But through my eyes
The world is silent, black, and gray
Like an old movie
Even in this day and age

I wish I could go back and see color
Instead of black and white
But it's hard to witness color
When everything is either wrong or right

I grow tired and weary
But I won't tell
Because it doesn't matter
That I'm colorblind now as well...
