Palette Perfect

mushroomed beige
loom my beginnings, exposed
in simple nudity, you see me
situated before you,

living awaits me
in color
jeweled pigments soon
adorn me
in spots and dots of
crimson
and cadmium lemon

streams of
manganese violet
silked with ultramarine blue
shall swath
my shoulders, while

cobalt teal and
antwerp blue titivate
my curves

windsor emerald shall
elevate status, as other tints
and blushes, shades and
traces come to call,

in their blendings and swirls
without regard of line
or context, paying no heed

soon, soon, my once pale
countenance is but a
congealed artifice

and naivety vanished

in black

perhaps it is best if I were
to stay in a state
of nudity by remaining
mushroom beige,
allowing you alone
to blush me
your favorite shade of
red

This is gorgeous, Karilea...
I can just see the brush, swirling the paint around, dressing you with color.

Thanks for re-posting this for me.

Lovely!

Sunshine,
You know you have two poems here. One is wishful and one is sad. You had a cloudy day.

Kari darling sister of my heart this is of course utterly utterly excellent. YES it is, and don’t argue you have such an amazing ability to write the colours of your soul. It’s as if you painted this with the colours of dreamers wishes mixed with a misty grey that seemed to have hidden the sun for just a heart’s beat. Utterly utterly perfect writing. It is an absolutely beautiful example of your incredible skill. I love it utterly Wonderful writing and so beautifully penned from a poetic pallet pen dipped in poets thought’s hue’s of butterfly.

You do know I love this utterly utterly, of course you do you were always perspicacious and gracious of heart too. Others may not see it but I suspect they do. Shine one Sunshiny one

Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh

Enjoyed the brush-strokes~

'perhaps it is best if I were

Enjoyed this thought in particular~

Yes I think that she was indeed the canvas for this artwork, and you know what I could see the makeup, the dress, and all, but you are right...a happier, more wonderful place would be in the color nude, and being painted someone's favorite red or pink even

.

There is nothing means more to me than
my faith, my family and my friends.
