Rose colored glasses

a fantasy view perceived

splendid get away

almost not wanting to leave

everyone should own a pair......

song wrens 
yell back at the  
ash rose colored sky
with their tiny wings
tucked by her side
that kindly say its my turn...

we witness the apostle eyes
of the ash rose colored butterfly
bright circles on her wing
wings that flutter into the
ethereal deep blue sky...

There was an optician somewhat blind
Whose patients found him easy to malign.
So he gave rose-colored glasses
A move that calmed the masses.
Now his practice has become sublime....

picturesque 
dreamscape
rose colored 
glasses worn 
by the disillusioned 
mind 
world seen not how 
it truly is 
but instead 
seen how 
one wants to 
view there 
waking life...

delicate ruffled
rose colored geraniums
snaring honey bees

lasting all summer
lifting faces to the sun
glorifies the yard

bordering garden
a fairy like loveliness
lasting one season...

All the pretty ones want to be 
smart
the smart girls want to be 
pretty 
different masks to dance in 
the ultimate illusion
we all want it all
shiny perfect
rose colored
black blue
you...

quixotic dreamer
constructing silver windmills
when she looks at him

rose colored glasses
optimistic attitude
giving them a chance

forever unite
a starry eyed realist
rebel who needs love...

Warmth blew in with the icy cold winter wind

It smelt like the bitter taste of brown honey

Stinging feeling that felt extremely pleasant

Something’s are worth looking at

only through a rose colored glasses...

Glass houses,
Rose colored glasses-
   All we hear 
   All we say...
How do you see the world
     from my eyes to yours?
All steps...back and forth
     walking through doors...
Who's house,
   mine or yours?...

Ding
Rings True
The clock bell blue
Found a new hidden Hue
Within warp-ed minds of the few
Brought on by effect of very strong brew
Through rose colored glasses anew
Rings True

++++++++++++++++++   Perception


                       Rose colored glasses
                          the truth has me seeing red
                       facets in focus

I breathed in the scent of the sunsets,
Cherry pit war mines covering the street,
Rose colored petals dancing in the background,
The sun painting me pink,
Crickets symphony under the lights,
That Summer that never left me....

Through rose colored glasses
I see your faults
Your lies
But I vowed it all 
When I came to your bed
Even if the thorns scratch
The rose still offers me 
Besides my pain
A sweet aroma
My love for you

Find Me in Six-Adrift

find me a peaceful bed of land
a place where vanquished time can stand
born against the sky of stones
in human err I thrive alone
adrift upon the dreams to be
rose colored world where you’ll find me

The brainwashed masses,
Wearing rose-colored glasses,
And nonchalantly flashing passes,
Never realizing the hourglasses
Are running out of time.

Miasmic shadows
And dystopian blows
Are working to transpose
The masses' crystal rose
Into a thick unending slime....

The mind drifts
  free-floats gaily
far, far from its moorings
  lighter-than-air

Associations stream
  in-and-out on
ribbons, wisps of lazy strings
  hanging from rose-colored kites

Dark forces loom
  yet undetected
thoughts breathlessly racing
  beyond our tenuous grasp...

pipe dream 
false hope 
in a future 
together 
unrealistic 
irrational 
internalized 
rose colored 
clouds that 
cover up the 
truth of reality 
there is no hope 
for a future together 
now 
truly there was 
never ever any 
chance of a life 
time together 
it was all just a 
fantasy...

together again
we shall journey
down this
road of life
as we looked
behind the golden trail and
the thoughts of you imagined
Oh that 
sweet break of dawn and
first early light begins
what fresh eyes did see
your ash rose colored smile
the beauty of thee
all i can feel and together we ...

The moon lights a glorious glowing path before us
like a splayed yellow band stretched to the stars
where we walk and listen to the nightbird sing
and allow our hearts to be moved by its melody
we hold the hand that flames the embers of our soul
and enter a rose colored rapture that joins our hearts...

nearby a moss covered angel kneels in prayer
hands grasped she weeps in the autumn rain 
oh, this mournful image touches my soul
and among the stained glass leaves flowers are fading 
at mom's grave I lay rose-colored roses already wilted
knowing in hours they too ... will be withering...

ROSE COLORED GLASSES

Everything crimson
Through my eyes everything red
Demons dancing in my head
Mars is blue Saturn red
Cut the body of an oyster it bleeds blue blood
Such an make believers' disaster
This is from mine imagination
It's what I see in my rose colored glasses

I want to feel 
The warmth 
The joy
The love
All things I’ve been denied 
The desire to not only give affection 
But to receive it in turn
I want to have something rosey 
To change my ever stale grey world
I’m tired of looking from the outside in
But want to be the one being looked at
From grey to rose colored
I want to feel...
