Broken Dreams of March

3720

In a frenzied search of inspiration

in the puzzle that is my heart

I'm so scared to piece together a bold mistake

It's red, yellow and orange.

Red for pain and red for passion

yellow for the sunlight shining like diamonds on the water

that sweet summer of young love

Orange for an opportunity never fulfilled,

leaving a question in my heart 

and my jaw slack,

but I put the lid on and

restore it back to the dusty attic of my mind

and label it

broken dreams of March

A lot said in these words. I liked the use of color and the meanings. Colors do control our emotions. We must find places where we can be calm and blue like the floating river running to the sea or the lakes. Thank you my friend for sharing the amazing poetry my friend.

You are welcome and I do agree. Colors make our world wild and beautiful.

I found your piece quite intriguing and both sad and soulful. The use of colours gives the write a great stanza strength! Carl Jung, the famous dream psychologist from the 1930s believed that colours represent the following: Black is connected to our unconscious, white or light colours signify our conscious mind. Yellow represents our intuition, blue our thinking, red our feelings and finally green represents our sensations. Well written my friend... :-)

Let the ole Earth take a couple o' whirls; time will eventually blunt the hurt.
A lovely creation, Met, that--despite the putting away--does tend to linger.
Nicely done!
