Silent colors

White silence peaceful and calm,

where cotton clouds float,

on the running river of time a psalm

sculpts meaning without a note

Red silence paints birthing skies

regurgitating a morning sun

spilling blood as it dies

when day is done

Age's yellowing fear

drools phlegm on a quiet cloth

bleeding stain of a tear

drips through holes made by a moth

Blue is the music of silence

as it falls in freezing rain

tearing each heart with violence

from solitary pain

Silence now black

fills fetid sewers of time

putting hope with a dog and monkey in a sack

thrown into the river Thyme

I always love some colour imagery and colour theory!!!! I love your wordchoice here, especially the line "Red silence paints birthing skies", it is soo biting. Great work as always :))

Wow! I love how the poet expands on each colour so poetically, giving it meaning and purpose. I agree with both Thomas and T. P... This is a very powerfully penned poem with very strong visual detail. Eloquently expressed, the poem flows effortlessly. A wonderful poem! Thank you for sharing it, Soren. I have so enjoyed reading...
