Color The Edge


there is
an edge
I’ve come
close to
and I’m
not afraid now
because
of you
there are
no boundaries
where before
I colored between
the hues
I’m mixing
the world
has never seen
I see
beautiful pictures
that come
in all kinds
for you
have taught me
to color
outside the lines

"I have already paid for all my future sins."  Sade...(King of Sorrow)

Very intriguing poem...from the wording and the structure. I really enjoyed reading this.
