Dipped colors blend under Gentle strokes And paused pointings As with word fingers I touch And compose an image Of love and hope On the canvas of your soul. A dab of red for passion Painted crimson feelings Warmed by hues of Pink and sunset orange I'll lay upon the tops Of paragraphs… Always visible… And always a beginning… A smear of yellow Towards the middle of each story So that the light of day Shines through every Dark corner… Chasing the sepia And grays to the corners Of your mind. But in the end… The epilog is written Black on white Washed with tones Of fading blue If leaving unread The final chapters… You walk away. |

Sorry...Oh, I wouldn't normally compare you to anyone, for you so rightly stand on your own.... but this is so McKuen-ish... thus pleasing me twice. |

Rich with color, so to say, Cpat! Why fade to black in the end? Simply re-write the story! (is it ever simple?) I like your imagery. -MVS "If you think you know it all, you have a lot to learn." |

Lady In White: Thank you... certainly no reason to be sorry for comparing me to anyone, I think we all at times sound a bit like those around us Interloper... you are way too kind, but thank you! MARK V SHELDON: Why fade to black indeed... it should perhaps have faded to white...a total absence of colors not the cumilative of all colors which is black... As for rewriting the story..we do that each and every day I think... Thank U 4 the comment... and 4 givinging me more to think about.. |

Thanks Martie... although calling this or anything I write art is being pretty generous... |

But to one person, you may be the world. |

James: Red Silk... not only very pretty to look at, but the feel could inspire a poem. Thanks for the comment!! Jellybeans... endings are so many times just beginnings wrapped in newspaper instead of shiny gift wrap. Hope you enjoyed... and thanks for the comment! |

Sven.. thanks for the words... could be about written works..but also could be about relationships and work that goes into them... in any case... it is about the desire to have one not close the book before they have read it all. |
