Colors

by Kuro   Jan 10, 2010


Red is for the love I had
Lust alone can drive you mad
Orange is for the setting sun
Signifying the day is done
Yellow is for the blinding light
Denying the truth with all my might

Green is for the grass I've burned
Destroying life of respect I've earned
Blue is for the tears I've cried
Trying to understand this life
Purple is for the royal mistake
Forgetting I can be replaced

Grey is for the world I see now
Lost are the colors that they allow
White is for the life I wanted
Perceptions skewed, and haunted
Black is for the dreams I have slept
The part of me no one can accept

    This poem has to be one of the best I've read in a while. I love your style of writing... how you put so much thought/feelings into your words that many can relate to. I've always wanted to write a poem like this... using colours to write about life . Awesome!

    This my favourite lines...

    "Blue is for the tears I've cried
    Trying to understand this life"

    and the last stanza is so profound....

    "Grey is for the world I see now
    Lost are the colors that they allow
    White is for the life I wanted
    Perceptions skewed, and haunted
    Black is for the dreams I have slept
    The part of me no one can accept "

    You have my nomination for the weekly contest..:) An Excellent piece.

    Absolutly loved it from start to finish. The colour thing was quite ingenious..i think just one line didnt deem to flow but the rest of the poem - being awesome makes up for that. I love the structure this piece has, and agin, i love your vocabulary. a non sticking one is great. well done.IBE
