Chameleon

So unexpectedly you called,
Inquiring if we perhaps might
-- After time apart so well recalled --
Together meet at the break of night.

And I, as a fool of heart believe,      
For truth and love will search within.
But you came dressed to eyes deceive
-- Wearing a chameleon skin.

But I of colors have grown jaded,
Now much prefer a shade of Light.
So into distance you have faded,
My heart's ascended purer flight.  

And the clouds of false desire,
That the winds once blew my way
-- A truer Sun has lit a fire
And burned the darkness away.

Trying to figure out the cameleon...
for with such inherent beautiful colors...why would that ever change?
Neat write.

No skin do I shed~ only vibrant colors of the rainbow through the prisms of my heart, shinning light into your darkness~crystal clear~no hidden evilness lurks within me~

My transparent heart you see, as glass, reflecting love back....what you see is what you get..no illusions~ that kind of magic is Merlin's magic....

~Love,Sunny (Thy Lady)


Open your eyes, open your mind, open your heart, let me come in and show you love.....~ARH

Thank you everyone, I appreciate the responses.

TD, my poem is meant to follow the popular belief that chameleons change their color in response to their surroundings.

But, the color change is really an important means of communication, and reflects response to temperature, light, and mood.
