Love possesses many different hues From a bright red to deep blues Feelings dictate the changing shades Time may cause the colors to fade Love usually starts out as pink When one prepares to drink For the first time from this cup With the curiosity of a pup Love can turn the brightest red When you can't keep that someone out of your head Just a look can make you blush As your blood flows with a rush Love can take on a pigment of passion I imagine it to be purple in fashion It burns with the intensity of a fire Only one way to quench those desires Love no longer aflame carries a blue tint Because on your heart is its print The mark of a feeling so sweet You were almost burned by the heat Love has many other tones One is always with you even when you're alone Look around and you will see All the splendid colors that love can be Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end. --Michael W.

LW a wonderful poem very coulourful. I always wondered what colour love was. Love has many other tones One is always with you even when you're alone Look around and you will see All the splendid colors that love can be ------------------------ "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." E.E Cummings. Faster- manic street preachers I am an architect, they call me a butcher I am a pioneer, they call me primitive I am purity, they call me perverted Holding you but I only miss these things when they leave I am idiot drug hive, the virgin, the tattered and the torn Life is for the cold made warm and they are just lizards Self-disgust is self-obsession honey and I do as I please A morality obedient, only to the cleansed repented *I am stronger than Mensa, Miller and Mailer I spat out Plath and Pinter I am all the things that you regret A truth that washes that learnt how to spell The first time you see yourself naked you cry Soft skin now acne, foul breath, so broken He loves me truly this mute solitude I'm draining I know I believe in othing but it is my nothing Sleep can't hide the thoughts splitting through my mind Shadows aren't clean, false mirrors too many people awake If you stand up like a nail then you will be knocked down I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else * chorus So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything (x4) ----- |

WOW Lone Wolf, your writing just keeps getting better and better  I know you challenged me to write on this subject, however I certainly could never have done it as well as you have All my love, Jeffrey I lie awake in a world filled with dreams, but dreams can be so real when you don't know you're asleep |

This is beautiful L.W. it reminds me of a scene in the movie "Mask" when he's showing the blind girl what color things are....touched my heart just like this does. Thank you so much for sharing your colors with us! |

Very well written! You illustrate all the shades of love beautifully! "That man has shown himself great who has never grieved in evil days and never bewailed his destiny." --Seneca |

~LW oh *sigh* this was beautiful. it reminded me sorta of that celine dion song "colour of my love." at least it fit with the title. beautiful way of describing love, you did it so tenderly. lovely just lovely! amy "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends." "Fate exists but it can only take you so far, Because once you're there It's up to you to make it happen." |

Very very lovely, although I've always seen Blue as a wonderfully positive color. Kind of interesting thinking of it as something different. Very creative piece my dear! |

Oh this has been laid down with the perfection of art.....With many colors... It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. |

I love the way you wove these colors together Lone Wolf, way to go!! Kathleen "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace." Elizabeth Barrett Browning |

Lone Wolf- I love the way you put everything into a visual context. Feelings have colours and vice-versa. You captured them very well and put them together into a fine piece. Well done! Trew. I have been to see the world. Tasted life at every turn. And all the time your face came back to haunt me. -Chris DeBurgh |

T.A....Thank you, I try! Amy....very happy to see you enjoyed it. I know you can relate to these colors my friend. Poet Femme....Thanks, hmmm.....blue as positive. I like that. Nice viewpoint! First_Night...Perfection...wow. Thank you!! Irish Rose....They just seem to fit that way. Glad you liked it. Spit Fire....Yes! A million aspects. You are welcome for sharing. Thank you for the kind words my friend. Trew....Thanks!! I think we overlook the visual context a lot when we write. So I am trying to see things differently. I am happy you liked it and thanks for reading. Ethome....Thanks....just came to me one day. |
