Colors

A dream of poetry colors as the metropolis rushes about around us.

What color do I want to be dyed?

Spin the roulette, my dear.

Take off your Scarlet hairband and let down your waterfall of Midnight.

Can we stop at Black before day? I still miss the twilight.

Walk in straining silence as we wait for the blurry Yellow streetlights to fade out.

Let’s take our first step into Violet dawn with barefoot glory.

Sink into the embrace of our mother Blue sky,

Wash our faces with the towels of drifting Grey clouds,

And smile as the solar-Golden sun brush our hair to caress our faces.

Yell with me as we fall back to the sea, tropical schools spiraling around,

As the saltwater rushes us to the depth, then returns us to shore.

Hold hands while we run together on the burning sandy beach,

Laughing as we tumble over Emerald grassy leaves.

Our rolls take us before the forgotten forest; our guide is the Unseen doe.

Dancing in swift, skipping in circles, cartwheeling in sway.

Until he takes a sudden leap into maiden dawn eye; sing your crescendo to the virgin night.

For under this curtain of silver stars cry, our day has come to an end.

And as you close your eyes, make a silent prayer:

Let it all, fade back to White.

A amazing poem. So many lines stood out.
"Spin the roulette, my dear.
Take off your Scarlet hairband and let down your waterfall of Midnight."
The above lines above are my favorite. I could write a epic poem from these words. I like the visions you create and you left the reader in a better place because of the good description. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

You compliment me :)
I was afraid of overdosing the colors for this poem, as too much visionary without progression would leave the words bland and meaningless. Thank you for your review, Coyote!

There is very nice imagery here. I especially enjoyed the imagery of the "waterfall of midnight" hair and using grey clouds as towels. Nicely done!

Thank you Gaia! I tried to add a bit of impressionism into my words and the paint flowed really smooth with ink. Glad you enjoyed :)
