Premium Member Hue

I'm the blue among
Black and white: I am like you
As we are of hue.
My uniqueness as false
As the true colors in you.

Golden Artwork

With the sun drowning;
into the depth of His clouds 
The wind continued;
to gust the only beauty;
and true colors of nature

True Colors

True colors
True Love
A rainbow shines
We marvel
We are impressed
Its beauty is awesome
and so clear

Premium Member A Fugitive

A flower wakes up

Finds shelter where lies turn truth

And

Its true colors bloom.

True Colors

an orange betrays its true colors
GREEN when immature, its namesake when "ripe"
an apple, hides its true flavors
Green when "green" but from red passion to yellow lies

Face Off

Face off
Pressed gently
To the exterior
To remove all causes
Take away the disguise
That covered the skin
Oh, so soft
Unveil the true colors
Take your face off
For me

They protest to not be a drama queen
but just can't wait to jump into the scene
Pretending to be a friend
Verbal daggers they extend
Their true colors are now vibrantly seen

A Simple Moment's Joy 2k12

Suddenly a familiar voice transmitted through
The telephone, overjoyed we laughed for moments
As true colors  of friendship showed through;
So showed joy therein our simple moments.

Showing True Colors



              You have got a lot of audacity !
            Are you serious right now?!
          
        Red?! 
     I know one color who has a high opinion of itself !

Unforgettable Misery

Unforgettable misery
Invaded his mind
Like a decaying disease
While his lies resurfaced
Wanting to be noticed
And as his true colors
Bled through his skin
He was painted in an array
Of vivid deception

Premium Member Autumn Colors

In autumn, leaves show their true colors; personalities from God’s palette. Yellow, gold, red, browns and Vandyke orange; pigments bold. I press them in a book for deco-paging; natures art!

Premium Member strawberry autumn

plump red strawberries
the kind we knew last red dusk
when time inched by brusque

garnet stars flash on
scarlet leaves and cardinals
mars phenomenal

crimson dragonflies
when fruitful days are going
true colors showing
Form: Haiku

Premium Member Unconditional Love

a hot day, white light
lime green leaves and roses gleam
in the starlight phase

scintillating sun
with its fierce glare everywhere
except long shadows

captives of white heat
as sun shows its true colors
midst adoring blooms
Form: Haiku

True colors

I wear colors without apology
I love who I love 
No fear no shame no need to hide -
I carry my truth with love and pride 

Every step tells my story 
Every smile shows my light 
I'm enough just as I am 
And I'll always shine bright

True Colors

Enough is now enough,
so I will rip down 
the pictures you have of me,
that are painted with hate and anger.

Now its my turn to paint!!!
and trust me,
I will use all your bitterness 
and anger as my paint,
to expose your true colors .

Ascend

Of the earth,
Mahogany hue,
Simple plan,
Swathed
In morning dew.
Unadorned husk,
Natural beauty dwells,
Radiant spells,
As encroaching dusk,
Dawn’s a new day,
Appendages beat their first,
Luster and splendor burst
And true colors
Ascend.

I'M Done

I'm done trying to find "the one".

As soon as i thought he was perfect,

he showed his true colors.

I can't eat.

I can't sleep.

I cry everyday, all day.

I can't even think straight.

I loved you.

Why did this have to happen to me?

Premium Member Her True Colors

.

        On the canvas
   laid out flat her length

         she did twist
               coil
          and  spiral

         Yes she did 
           meander
          uncovered

         On the wet

            chosen
              oils

And While Those Bruises

And while those bruises
Showed their true colors
Simply stood over me
In a hazy glaze
Of anger and confusion
While weeping persisted
And screaming pursued
Your most inner sympathies
You walked away
Left the scene of the crime
And left it all behind

I am so sorry I let him down.

U 
True colors
always
shine
thru
Like A Rainbow !!!

Blindsided

You made me 
Think you believed me.
When I told you what I 
Find out.
Then you went and Blindsided me.
Protecting your image
And your family.
Was more important
Then the truth.
So you took Emily
From me .
And I saw your true colors.
I knew then you 
You were never for me.

Premium Member Nom De Plume

Listen to poem:
You earned it
The right to
Stand out

To show your true colors
To go by the name
That best represents 
The real authentic you
The you you’ve grown into

Select your pen name
With utmost care
Flaunt your uniqueness
Divulge your true colors

Life Must Go On

Keep life moving forward
Even if it's going the way
Not the same with before
Sometimes, be aggressive
To build up armour for self
Sometimes, being gentle
To feel relatable with others
Sometimes, play the fool
To see the true colors of many
Life isn't always good
It depends on whom you turn to.

Too Many Chances

Too many chances
And since then, I’ve checked out
It takes fright to be you again
We’ve listened to this song
Far too many times in one sitting
Can we end right here
While it’s still dark out?
The light hurts my eyes
And I’m not in the mood
To see your true colors
I’d rather live in a black and white world

Premium Member True Colors of the Heart


If I told you I loved you... would you walk by my side? If I told you you were everything to me would it change how you feel? If I were to paint love in colors... would you see only black and white? Or would you see... The true colors of my heart?
(Note: This is a poem I wrote from 2010.)
