Short Greyness Poems

A smile can turn the greyness blue
A smile can say I love you too 
A smile can melt any young girls' heart 
Then how come your smile still tears me apart....

Sitting,
Enveloped in greyness,
In the passage a lightness grows,
Sounds begin to soften
As he wind begins to rise,
The lapping of waves,
Like building of energy,
Keeps a consistent beat....

drums roll from the distant greyness,
plunges the grey house in darkness, 
dark as night.

Angels looking down with softness, 
their hearts soft and kind with whiteness,
milky white.

With the greyness of the sky above
The sky is crying
Resembling the soul of someone in pain
Hopelessness falling from the sky 
Like tears from the eyes
As it beats the ground
The pain of loss is tattooed on the soul 
For a lifetime...

Misunderstanding 

Night outside was not as dark as the bedroom, 
I could see its greyness through the window.
Lifted up my arm and with flat palm blocked 
the outdoor night. Wife switched on bedside 
lamp, asked why I was doing Nazi salute in bed?...

this place of living
where foliage and grass grow...
i talk to headstones
as the breeze whispers to trees
and the greyness of clouds part

Greyness blooms

time n place do call the tune,
within without, the greyness blooms,
within without, insight,
blackness of the night,
does me consume,
it aint, yet isn't right,
dukrap fills de room...
delight...

The day is grey, no sun peeks through
But then again I heard from you
A comment here a comment there
In fact comments almost everywhere

The sun is shining in my heart
The greyness of the days depart
You lighten up my cheerless day
Can’t wait to see what’s new today

QUOTE BY CHARLES MESSINA 
"Two doves in white flying, feathers glow beneath the morning's rainbow colours" 

Counting colours in you
Not so clear sky of blue
Until the greyness spoils the view,
And the prism of forming rainbows just grew,
Then from under the archway two doves of white flew.

I sigh dreamily,
My heart beating so fast
Like a millon drums
In perfect rhythm.
Almost like the rain pounding on my roof.

I'm happy.
You're right.
With happiness,
The next day
Isn't a drag,
There's a reason to wake up
Each and every morning.
Every day is different now.

The greyness of my life
Is completely gone now.
I see it now.
I see the color and the beauty....

let's go on the hill
and let the dying sunbeams
drift away our sorrows
let's go to the river
and drown our wet eyes

winds change our thinking
in a beautiful silence
and transform our greyness
in a solid domed frame

let's go to the fields
and dance the last waltz
in fight of misunderstanding
let's go to the valley
to search the untitled legends

suffering and cyclone
rage beyond the secret sea
right inside of a doubtful man
and the dialogues are gone...

With loving drops
from heavens lap
greyness fades 
from every view
In its place
color, born to sing
shines in verse
to natures music
Accompanying
sounds of triumph
are heard above
raindrops patter
Reds, yellows, lilacs
smile timidly 
into the blueness 
of their mothers breast
With Mays arrival
a golden father
looks down with
beaming pride 
to see his
children at play,
nestled in new warmth
and to new 
resolution

Drop
Drop
Patter
Patter patter
Pattering pattering rain

You forgot to bring an umbrella
But as you stand in the gentle rain
You soon forget, too 
You ever needed one

An outstretched hand catches but a few 
You turn your face to the sky to better feel more
Water beads flying by
A tangible view of a different perspective
 
In the company of the sound of the drops
Life is at a standstill here
The greyness of the world to the eye
Somehow is so beautiful
In the rain...
