A glimpse
the world is set in stained glass,
sectioned in lead for your touch,
the sun's heat radiates textures,
like cool earth softly stirring,
bumping up against
velvety petals fragrantly warm
water brushes the edges of
a velvety lawn
crushed under your bare feet
wet from the lake
sunshine kisses you on only one side
For the morning has come.
ROYGBIV
Red red roses with velvet petals brought to a lover with fiery burning passion
Orange hues are slightly less fiery... the heat is on its way out and crisp leaves crunch under foot
Yellow is so soft, like warm sunshine or a fuzzy chickadee against your cheek
Green is the scent of cut grass
Blue, the scent of ocean, the taste of salt
Indigo like a deep chill, cold as ice
Violet, oh violet... how to describe thee. I suppose there's no better way than to breathe in the scent of the lovely purple flowers by that name. Inhale a handful of blueberries and then taste them. That is violet.
To feel and smell and taste colors is the very best way to experience them!
Exposure and color
will come in tones
by the sensible fingertip
and desire beneath
the sound of the beach
is the same as it looks
the smell of thin air
and the taste of cherries.
Brightness and contrast,
an everlasting cycle of sight,
like embossed sand grain
filtering between the toes.
Day and night,
warm and light,
and the depth of the skies
will come around in sound.
When I'm alone with trees
I close my eyes and hear them whisper.
When I'm alone with flowers
I close my eyes and hear them dancing.
Everytime sadness comes desaturated,
the greyscales build their symphonies
just to hear the reveries and remedies
of a world spinning round,
it's complicated.
March Forth into Your Light
Naked is the song of life,
10,000 suns have stroked your skin,
You stand transfixed
before the dawn of life,
bonded together in darkness
but you are no longer unseeing.
Lend me your wisdom
and give me your laughter
as canary light shimmers
in your vivid dreams.
Warm sensations post words
along your moonlit pages -
You do not need vision
to warble enchantment
of your heartbeat,
as you leave whispers
on my skin and
pressed lips on my soul.
Imagined white pinholes
of light appear before you
as negativity marches away
from your parade of shadows.
Breathe deeply the chill of air,
behind a veil hide nothing
but create your own world.
Fill your fingertips with
resplendent colors and
smooth the rough patches.
Feel the soft sands on
your wandering toes,
bridge your heart fully
with your magnificent mind.
Mysteries of love will
expose you to rapture.
Ocean waves of new beginnings
flow in to erase your darkness.
Hoist your sails and steer
your course to freedom
and gentle purity
as you smell the scent
of all life has to offer.
Break free from your
restrictive chains,
envision all life
has to offer –
march forth
into your own light.
