COLOUR OF LOVE

COLOUR OF LOVE

It hides in the majestic morn yellow,
Across sunlit flashes of your sweet face,
In musical portraits of the cello,
Merry atop white clouds in heaven’s grace.

Perhaps it sleeps in fields over yonder,
Hiding amongst cherubs of meadows gold,
Beautifying the air as it wanders,
Exhaled by the flowers as they unfold.

It swims with rainbow fish in mountain streams,
Bathing in the warmth of sun’s lucid smile,
Betwixt the allures of my joyous dreams,
In the grains of sand of faraway isle.

It flees stranger’s grasp by soaring away,
Nestled softly in the winds of the south,
Flourishing the blossoms of a new day,
Scintillating across your luscious mouth.

I may have found the treasure that I seek,
Hiding underneath the sunrise born skies,
Amidst the rose blush of an angel’s cheek,
Colour of love is glowing in your eyes.

Hello FlawBydesign,

Or Ivan, if I may, I won't go into great detail surrounding this review since I rarely review anything that I have judged or going to judge in my contest. I had my significant other pick out a couple of poems she was interested in reading and I was going to come in behind her and read/review. That's when I realized I had read this once. I would have not reviewed and moved on but that would have been rude.

Now that the useless information you didnt want to know is out of the way, I can see why it won Best Imagery. The words here are magnetic, drawing you in to the poem itself. It is quite beautiful. This is one of those special poems that you know everyone needs to read atleast once. Great Job.

Always,

Matthew

Damn Ivan; What a rich and brightly colored flow of grace and beauty this is. I was swept away with the imagery and transported, ever so gently, to a plentiful world overflowing with love's abundance. Gentle, flowing cadence and an ever so rich descriptive palate. Bravo.....! I will have to read Abdul's poem.

That must have been some poem to inspire this, I will have to check it out. I love poetry and other writing that use color to pull emotion, memory and experience from a readers mind. Color being on e of the strongest visual cues of any experience can trigger a flood of feeling good or bad. Your words, beautiful crafted and dripping with portrait sized visions of love and relationship....and in this one particularly of wanting.

yes , it is very nice

[Adelia Alighieri]

Absolutely amazing, I have to say. Such profound use of imagery. I truly wish I had at least a subtle essence of this inspiration in order to write as great as you did. I'm awed. Bravo.

[Coyote Poetry]

The poem is very beautiful. Such excellent description and detail make this a pleasure to read. In the eyes of a woman with love we can feel so weak and good.
A outstanding poem. Thank you.

I'm honored that my poem inspired such a beautiful piece of poetry. This is filled with exuberant colors, and clever subtlety. It is like a series of still images, each of them more colorful than the previous. The entire poem is joyous and makes for a very enjoyable read. And need I say it? It is much better than the poem that inspired it !

you, sir, have the knack of expressing love like no other...beautiful mental pics painted by such strongly expressed words
