Colours Without Names

They are absolutely everywhere, ya just can't see them for looking...

Colours Without Names

 

Did you know   

there are colours out there

without names…   

 

Although it takes a time slip

to catch the slightest glimpse

of even one…

 

And even then

They are impossible

to grasp or tame…

 

Only those who borrow

or steal time

and play such games…

 

May be privileged

to catch a glance

Even then though…

 

Only if they want

you to notice them

Will they avail themselves…

yes, warm colours when you feel happy and cold colours when you are sad, they embrace you, you feel them ... but they don't have names

[Neville]

Here, your playful ephemeral essence is popping to the max. Your basic premise is brilliant, the kind of idea all writers wish we'd thought of. You SHOW instead of TELL, since we cannot exactly pinpoint the kind of colors you're referring to . . . just throwing around some mystic fairy dust, I guess! *wink! wink!* I agree that there are many such delights that cannot be captured (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I reckon you just knocked my little nail on the head... top marks for sussing me out..........All Good Things, Neville

There are sentiments that have colours, and those colours have no names .... you feel them and they fill the hearts with marvelous sensations! Your poem sounds like a song. Absolutely lovely!

[Neville]

Now color for sure is a wondrous and peculiar thing. I see a color , green let us say, and lo and behold my good wife tells me it is indeed blue. Who knew? My good wife that's who. Blue is wondrous strange, some cultures, my good wife says, have no word for blue. Un-named there is no blue at all, sky is sky color and that's the whole of it. My good wife says. So that's all I know or need know about color, that and that the "u" is profoundly un-American.

I believe You and I know it's true, as Your said in Your other poem, (I want to be the colour without a name), and I admire the creativity of Your mind here, along the sensitive sense You have to feel these ethereal colours, to grasp this rare heavenly beauty.
