Painting With The Colors Of Love As I reach down and scoop up the golden glimmers riding the ripples of this lake ... I glance at the moon and see the beauty of you knowing that this I could never forsake As I inhale the emerald essence of the forest surfing in the tides of a mystic breeze I know I have just tasted your heavenly kiss as it reaches my lips in an effort to seize Bathed in the hues within a virgin sunset immersed in a swirl of blue The promise of our tomorrow's hope now baptized in the purity of you With all the colors of a dancing rainbow waltzing across a darkened sky I feel your touch deep within my soul caressing a dream of yesterday's cry As I chip away at grey shadows of stone resting in the tablets of history The crevices of tomorrow's visions help to solve life's hidden mystery With all these colors sent from heaven as each new day finds a start I wish to gather them together with my love finding a way to fingerpaint your heart Mark Bohannan If you find yourself stranded in a storm ...then reach for my hand and we will play in the puddles together [This message has been edited by Mark Bohannan (edited 02-07-2001).] |

What a gorgeous array of colors and beauty, Mark...I love reading your poems, they're always such a great treat. This is no exception...praises to you, O Romantic One!  *Krista Knutson* I'm a slow dying flower In a frost-killing hour The sweet turning sour and untouchable... -Natalie Merchant |

Funny, isn't it, how one's true colours can be so easily revealed. |

'With all these colors sent from heaven as each new day finds a start I wish to gather them together with my love finding a way to fingerpaint your heart' Big time smiles here, Mark! Lovin' these lines, Mr. Imagery!  sp  ...if I ride these dreams to the Irish Sea, oh, even there, I know your heart rides with me... |

Balladeer-Amazing what you can do with a little love isn't it my friend. Thank you so much kind sir. Karilea-I couldn't ask for more than that now could I? Thank you much. Alwye-The treat is in the knowing that you enjoy them. Thank you so much. Claire-Yes, even when they are masked by seemingly unforgiveable actions. True caring must and does always go beyond that. Thank you very much. snowpants-Hey there lil one....glad you are diggin the canvas and the images. Thank you my friend. Lary-Thank you kindly. I am glad you found the life in it. Poeminister-I am glad cause I can't seem to find the other colors. Thank you much. SpitFire-I am glad that you found the joy in the both of them. Thank you dearly. Melissa-I can only pray that they do. Thank you kind lady for always bringing a smile. |

As I reach down and scoop up the golden glimmers riding the ripples of this lake ... I glance at the moon and see the beauty of you knowing that this I could never forsake As I inhale the emerald essence of the forest surfing in the tides of a mystic breeze ======================== Bathed in the hues within a virgin sunset immersed in a swirl of blue ====================== With all the colors of a dancing rainbow waltzing across a darkened sky I feel your touch deep within my soul caressing a dream of yesterday's cry ======================== With all these colors sent from heaven as each new day finds a start I wish to gather them together with my love finding a way to fingerpaint your heart ===================== and you do my gifted artist and poet of imagery and words of beauty ... trust me .. you do.. this is so lovely Mark ... in its images of nature's gifts and colors... and the use of metaphors to display the promise ... in its presentation too ... but most of all in the display of emotions that accompany that promise. and that last verse is with its weight in poetic gold... love this one MC ... it for SURE qualifies as a GROOVY ... make that a rainbow groovy later-fingerpaint-gator love ya toots (FB)lol PP (hehe) Tomorrow holds only mystery And who's to say what might be But in you I've found a love so strong The sun and the moon look on in jealousy ~VH~ |

The last post was so true, one more beautiful is not necessary. Sometimes though, your poems leave me breathless, with nothing else to say. I love the use of color here, I always think of colors associated with moods. Hey, how do you change the color in just certain words like that? I have been meaning to ask someone, and evidently you know how Love this, as always Sandra Dream as if you'll live forever; Live as if you'll die today. — James Dean |

Thank you all so very much for your kind replies. I do appreciate each and everyone of them and I apologize for taking so long to respond back but my work has me hopping these days but that is a good thing considering where it is about to lead me. Once again....thank you all from the bottom of my heart. |

This is as pretty as it is beautiful. (And if that doesn't make sense, do bear in mind that I'm blonde and my thought processes are somewhat skewered. *G*) Wonderful! |
