Colour of Life

Life is but a rainbow
Styled hues of color in form, of baby blues
And violent red, like what she said
The night her brain was purple.
Of pink and lime, aged scarlet wine,
Green sons and orange daughters.
Beige to dream of silver days,
Night's to wake beholden, golden.
Increasing white of blackened light
And the cosmic scent of grey.
All blend with accord to hoard
Such mellow yellow, subconsious cello
To brown in life's stupor.


Tempest

Fascinating images, a type of collage of words. Too bad it has to be in black and white. Welcome to e-mule!

Why, thank you, Les. But it's not in black and white, that's the whole point of it. The colour abounds...

Tempest,

I liked the colorful imagery you used as well as the internal rhymes. I was curious about the "cosmic scent of grey." Grey seems rather drab.

Thank you, Gwydion and JHS. Yes, grey is drab, which is why I put it as a scent and not an object.
