Different Colors of Me
Colors of Life
How do you compare...
Moments of Purple Orchid Bliss
to those of Lemon-Sour Yellow Remiss?
Blue is sky-up
Blue is sorrow-down
So out of the green greed
in lukewarm confusion and hazy
orange doubt
I sometimes frown.
If I were a color
what would I be?
Sandstone or burnt sienna
to wear over me
Maskin' me into the background
Surrounded by Periwinkles of Bright Red.
Or should I bold be
in Platinum Copper Gold
you silver-lined for me?
Different my reflections
in the aqua pool, I see...
Eyes of Forrest, Sepia-Fleckled Green
Cheeks of rose pink
A nose of point peach
Mulberry-lined lips of moist magenta...
.....................
Hair... of indian red....
hi-lighted with mahogany.
In the glimmering waves of my reflection....
These are the many colors I see.
So how can I pick which
color is me?
Blackhearted to FLESH RED
Lightly on the raw sienna
steps I tred...
To, slowly, my chosen color find.
Thru my tie-dyed rainbow world,
I will navigate.
And find my plum peace
For it is purple I will pick!
Too many shades of gray
should cause my heart
to coal-black stay.
So, I must my purple place take,
In this ROY G. BIV world.
