COLOR ME, COLOR YOU

In the book
where my dreams reside,
I've colored you the way
I saw you first,
and in the shades I've seen
between then and now.
All the colors I've ever seen
sparkle and gleam
on this portrait I've made...
that is,
everything but Green.
Green I've saved for me,
whom I've colored beyond the brilliance
of the aura surrounding you.
Envious Green,
for all who share your light.
Green,
fading to blue,
for having to live with only my thoughts,
yet Golden now,
for having been touched,
and grateful,
for having known you
at all.

Good work, Jwesley. The use of colors is interesting.

JWesley~
As one who is prone to color outside the lines ... I enjoyed sharing your coloring book.

I absolutely ADORE this poem
it is written so sweetly and sincerely
just beautiful with the imagery of the colors
and the gentle grace of the emotions.
perfect..and my fav by you now
wish you would post more often my friend
take care, jm


you can say baby
baby can I hold you tonite
maybe if I said the right words
at the right time
you'd be mine
baby can I hold you tonite
