Colors

I wish to dream

in colors

that never were.

Perhaps they did

once exist

in a faraway realm

that I dreamed.

 

In my mind,

the colors were

once apart of me.

A mood ring of

shifting, changing,

and rainbow tides.

Specific to my person,

the colors were

of no other.

Never did I utter

a single word for

the colors knew

how I felt.

 

In that world,

every person had

their own colors.

Some did not exist

in the spectrum of reality.

Some were shades

the eye did not recognize

and the mind

could not conceive.

These shades had tones

and shadows

of light and dark

melding into another.

They were never one

or were the same.

Each color

was its own unique entity.

 

I long to see

these colors again.

In reality,

I can never

imagine them for

they do not exist.

I desired to know

what they know.

I never can.

Author's Note

Another spoken poem. I don't know why I started speaking about colors. It is interesting how this turned out.

is that poem or a love song >? It's really nice once again and we can relater this with someone's taste. sounds good in every phrase.

[Poetic Beauty]

Colors to me have different emotions and some can be related to taste. Maybe that seems odd but that is how it is for me. I associate certain words with color or tastes sometimes sound. Like the moon to me is vanilla or silver. I get this poem. I can relate to wanting to be in a dreamlike state where things are different and color has much more meaning than a visual state.

[Lonesome Traveler]

Ahhh I like this alot, theres a lovely flow to it, like the fluid movements of a brush on canvas. And it really makes me think about the dreams I have that appear to be in black and white, but their surreal nature cries out for colours that "do not exist".

[SmileOfARebel]

Interesting poem. It shows another perspective of life; creativity and originality at its finest. I like the simple wordplay and how different it is from other poetry I have seen. A job well done.
