A Gown Of Invisible Colors

Your words are smooth as silken threads
That weave for me a gown
Invisible though it appears to all
I feel colors of you all around.

Passionate purple, rests close to my heart
And the pinkness of lips that thought kiss
The pale of the white that awaits your light touch
And the gray of your eyes that I miss.

Whenever you leave me I think of your gown
And the comfort my heart feels within
Knowing tomorrow, your eyes shall return
And will be dancing upon my soft skin.

This is a poem that seems to have all the right words ... what a gal you must be to pen such lovely thoughts ... and I see you were able to get your pic uploaded ...
excuse me ... while I lift my jaw off the floor

You're going to have them lining up now Maureen!

Princess...sometimes I respond to others responses to my poems...and  they inspire me to write another ... one day someone said to me he would dress me in a gown of invisible threads and from there a poem was born in me..
thank you for your comments, princess, I always look forward to them

Maureen,
I don't know how I missed this one. Must be blinking again. Glad that I came by.

I've read this three times now but I'm no nearer a reply except to say, I love it..

This is a beautifully done metaphor., it flows throughout the piece and leaves serenity at the ending.
It is well crafted and tight.
You should be very proud of this one Maureen.
p.s. you cannot be 50!! I just turned 50 this year.

There are places inside our souls -
that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts -
that need to be loved this much.

Disappearing Rainbows

It rained today and all last night
This morning tried to find
The crescent shaped with colors bright
That came with morning shine.

I caught a small and quickened view
Of stripes up in the sky
But when I turned around, just once
It left, before my eyes.

The rainbow disappeared in fade
And with it, so it seems
Went many of my daily plans
And many of my dreams.

I'll try each time when sky tears fall
And sun comes out once more
To catch a glimpse of rainbow's hues
As I have done before.

And hope that I can capture them
And store then in mind's eye
Those elusive plans and dreams I make
To become that butterfly.
