A myriad of tones, each a symphony of foams
Likely to be sharpened each to point before a single swirl
And ever likely too, before the touch of paper, peels unfurl
Far before, a vision painted on a canvas soft and sure
Melted dreams to stir

Beseeched in strums, triumphant in the way it comes
More often to be tossed about the hue, beside some orphan shoe
With confidence a mighty line, strong and straight
Except within his grand design, watercolors washed,
A polished shine

The artistry of differences, textures rich and raised,
Heated up and cooled within the silent white ablaze
Spaces left with gaps, pausing to pitch bottle caps
In a speechless glee, settling to final draft enraptured he
Mixing in two tones

Hearing the define of red, of yellow through the grousing bellow
In the context of the sun that kisses apples with September done
Blending in two different eyes the styles, unique in definition
And somehow same in the tradition, purple is purple, or violet mist
Subtle versions teased a kiss

Yet how unlikely is it to have thoughts so close in flavor?
Couldn’t there be different in the good of just a simple green lifesaver?
Maybe apple, mint or lime…something that defies define
Sharpening the point, waiting for the right time
Clear, the colors that you hear

She draws in smooth and brighten, fine lines a glow enlighten
Imagining the rise and fall of every breath drawn great and small
A sculpture that is known by feel, before it can be shown
He listens to the color box, observes the pallet, picks the locks
All the while looking in her eyes

The image of the wind, on wings she gives to him
And wishes into moonlight, there paints for him the rainbow skies
A touch of dromedary sighs and nodding all the while he denies
Groping for the dream, sightless in a solitary tartan theme
That love could still be green

now, since crayons have been on my mind of late.. I found this quite interesting and well done.. the verses I copied being my favorites...

funny how the smell of crayons can take us back to something simpler and to a time we might believe...love indeed was still green..

Oh my, Kathleen, these are some of the most
beautiful lines I've ever read. I love the way
your words paint beautiful colors.

I see we're in tune today...in a colorful sort of way...   You just bore the colors a bit brighter.
