The colors of love

My soul bled blue that day

those goodbyes sucked me dry

I'll forget, come what may

I lied to this gray sky.

My hope bled brown once more

sinking into dead soil

if I knock on hell's door

will I be spared this toil?

My song bled silence, then

the tune, of love, unsung

so now, will sing, my pen

of when love's piercings stung.

My heart bled red one night

when dusty letters spoke

of solitude's great flight

when in warm arms I woke.

I like the way you have introduced colour to convey your emotions, blue, gray brown. But then the warmth of red in your final stanza is far more uplifting. Nicely done.

you hit all the senses Volcano! this line in particular strikes me:
"I lied to this gray sky." ...how foolishly we fool our selves eh!? and your closing brings warmth and a sense of comfort tho its only those dusty letters that bring the good memories :( took me a couple reads to get into the rhymes and rhythms ... did you have to work hard at them? I do ;)

Thank you E for your encouraging words.....I prefer free style myself though sometimes a rhyme pops out :)
