Blue and Green[footnote:1]Some of you may have read this before, but it was early on in my days at TPS so I thought I'd post it here.[/footnote]
My life streams in colors seldom seen From red to violet, In between--
You are my blue.
Your touch White light to blind me Your kiss Amber to focus my eyes once more Your laugh Gold and silver streams to find me Your eyes So blue they shook my soul to the core. Your embrace Every color at once, Separate Clear Revealing
We seize in white sheets and I see rainbows.
I used to run from rainbows.
I’ve always been green, Weaving rapid 'round the rainbows. Running from others' colored expectations Hiding in the green Gazing up at blue.
You’ve said it’s my eyes that pulled you in “A sea of green,” if I remember right And I do.
I remember everything blue.
I’ve always been green Running from the red From the violet And all the colors in between Thinking my heart was black from emptiness They called me yellow
But I’ve always been green.
In all of my running from rainbows I almost missed you.
I almost missed my Blue.

A very variegated insight into the spectrum of the soul that transcends the merely piebald.

This is terrific, Jamie. Thick with metaphors and hidden meanings, yet, personal to the touch. This stanza particularly captured me:
I’ve always been green, Weaving rapid 'round the rainbows. Running from others' colored expectations Hiding in the green Gazing up at blue.
Fantasticly written, my good friend.

Jamie this is just pure genius, mingling emotions and feelings with colours, it makes so much sense! I really love this poetry, great write, thought provoking even though some of it is personal to yourself, it inspires so much, excellent. K xxx ;D

I enjoyed the journey through the colours too. Great emotion in this piece, Jamie! I liked the opening line and the last three. Nicely executed!
Have you by any chance been listening to Miles Davis?
