Drink deeply of this chalice red, I've dubbed the color of regret. It's filled to full of hope not dead- To quench your thirst termed violet. Eat this wafer, tinged forest green~ For envy now; what failed to last. Your hunger-lust still yet unseen, In blue-sky hue of this repast. You dine on danger, what is done. Torturing with pearly appeal. For love is dead yet hope's still spun; Fate's earthen curse is now revealed. No closure when that spark of light Beckons golden as morning's sun. Demons are laughing in delight, Since hope's blackened bane is now come. |

***A hush fell over the crowd*** Amazed by the splendor of your talents. You create a rainbow of colors within my monochomatic world. You also gave me insight into your future....perhaps black and blue?? What do you think Michael??? ***And then the deafening roar of applause*** |

"No closure when that spark of light Beckons golden as morning's sun" Whoooeee, ain't it the truth? Pretty potent stuff there m'friend. (purty colors...)May I never be too busy to help another's load, Then I'll be drinking from the saucer 'cause my cup has overflowed. --Author Unknown |
