The colour of you

this is for the colour challenge in the poetry challenge.

When I close my eyes

I see it,
the fields
in summer,
and the flecks
in your eyes
an ocean
of you --

the colour I
wore, that
very first time
locked in
your kiss,
swept by
your bliss --

to me,
it will always be,
forever 
meadow,
lush and dew --
the colour
of you.

This is gorgeous, I read and reviewed it before, still beautiful. :)

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you I appreciate it. I like this one a lot.

[Ana Papaya]

Me too. I like that song too. Song auto corrected to dong.
That's funny, if you're feeling immature. :)

[Briana O'Connor]

This is a sweet and blissful love, the kind that's tender and free. I could not figure out if you were portraying blue or green or yellow lol, but the poem was amazing. Who cares about the color! This was perfect!

[Lyn Anderson]

Well people do not have yellow eyes, and both blue and green would be correct as the shade in my mind is a little of both. Thanks. I love this poem and how it turned out from a simple challenge

[Rene Salinas]

What a great feeling this is. It lifted me up which funnily enough I could do with some. This to me indicates an understanding of the concept of faithfullness. It is intrisincally related to any relationship . To see the person and then in a second of insipiration uphold that image which will sustain you through the hard times, the sickness times, the hopeless times and just about any time that things get so bad that you want to throw the towel so to speak.

Beautiful medows.

Thankyou

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you. It was written for the challenge of describing a colour, and what came out was something infinitely more. It is by far one of my favourite writes to date.

[Sami Khalil]

It sweeps the imagination of its feet. Excellent...:)........

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks so much. Accepting a simple challenge of describing a colour became so much more.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow. You are welcome....:)...........

awww this one is sweet and tender... it has just the right amount of romance without being too mushy... The imagery and emotion are so strong but in such a gentle way if that makes sense at all.. It does in my head.. warned you I need coffee... I like the use of colors and the sprinkling of it in the beautiful imagery.. very nicely done ma'am... get the warm and fuzzies nagging at my ice...

[Lyn Anderson]

I really loved the way this one turned out thank you

[AprilRN1210]

I can see why, it is beautiful... you're more than welcome girl..

[Lydia Shutter]

MMMMmmmmmm....sensuality at its best because it is elegant....leaves so much to the imagination. Colored memories....delightful and delicious in their sensuality....do not always reflect reality, but they are so wonderful. I believe this is one of your best, KL! Lydi**

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you so very much, I do too. I am very partial to it. It was written for Momzilla's poetry challenge to describe a colour without saying it.

[Lydia Shutter]

Truly, it is a special write.

[Matching Socks]

Omg, I have a lump in my throat.
Simply beautiful, such genuine emotion.
I just love it.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks, I love it too. I don't usually write like that.

[Matching Socks]

I know, I think that's why I choked up.

[icelandicblue]

Sigh...a poem like honey...sweet and golden in the sunlight.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you for the sweet words. It really just spilled out of me.

[Christopher Withers]

Being a thick skinned male, I tend to shy away from 'romantic poetry'. Seeing this pop up in my feed, I decided to check it out, and am glad that I did. It *is* wonderful :)

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you. I am not a "typical" romantic, whatever that is:)

[NoelHC]

I am going with John Deere green. A lovely tender write KL, so well done.

[Lyn Anderson]

A little dark but yes a shade close to that.

[NoelHC]

Sun faded and aged a bit, maybe. ; )

[Lyn Anderson]

You got it:)
