Colors Run

 

Colors Run

 

girl in blue jean

promise

buttons like oil colors painted onto my fingers

i move the brush

she sighs,

then refuses stroke

cuts the color

from my rejected cheek

 

promise broken,

painting hangs

in solemn gallery

like a souvenir slam

poetry words wickedly wound around the wound

no signature on the canvas

her poems, panties i can't get into

artist lies alone

 

girl in blue jean

promise

gone,

she's the turpentine

in my vestal dream

now smeared with off white

memory.

We are born to ❤️ love in many different ways. Looking back it seemed the natural thing to do. But then you may have met “run around Sue”.. and felt Blue. Sometimes a Puzzle makes a beautiful Picture eventually. Gently, Pat

And I wish Neil had stayed "Forever in Blue Jeans"---and not gone all Vegas...but always loved his voice and song writing.

[Einstein Noodle]

he was never one of my favorites; but now I appreciate his voice and gift ... Vegas probably called a lot of people of the road ..

Artistically engineered this word painting of colors and word play that is no longer a virgin poet. Loved this thought provoking work of art.
