somebody's dungeon

I know you want the soft
touch upon paper, pen in motion
words to flow with emotion
pretty pink pictures
with a sigh now and then,

but I can't remember when
these colors were my own
when the things in my life
had a softness of tone.

The harsh of reality
  distorted
  the rainbow view
deep colors that scream
are all that come through.

I long for the dim,  
  the pale of shade
soft colors caress
my body does crave.

A gentle touch
of softened hue
to paint again
small slight of mood.

To create once more
with skilled artistry
a picture, a story
even a litany,

Softly told,
whispers of tint
brushing upon space
  with the slightest of hint

a life, in color, is told.

Anne, this is a pretty poem written from your heart.
I'm sorry you're feeling this way now. I hope soon
that you'll be able to paint the colors that you want to....

What are colors of you?
Radiant in the sunlight,
Tan as the beach’s sun
Eyes the color of the sky.
What is truly your hue?
Is it soft or bright
Is it starting or done
Will your shades drift by
Washing colors from you
Still lovely to our sight
A pale rainbow that’s spun
After the heaven soft cry.
