clumsily tumbling
like tumblers
or something-or-others
the labourers bundling
rafters and awnings
laughing
one another
longing
the buzzing of ochres
and umbers
a jungle of mumblers
the sufferers
of buzz saw lobotomies
are teething no longer
such wealth
and redemption
resurrection through
metamorphosis
assembled and suspending epicentred
in a splendour of slenderly wound timber
I wonder
the spiralling staircase is an extension
of the heavens
signed by someone-or-other
that humble carpenter
anonymous and unfunded they say
and remembered as an angel
undercover
with a hammer of mahogany

-seems my find function didn't highlight midnight blue as a duplicate. Alternatively use blood burgundy if desired.

Midnight Blue
Midnight blue
Coming through
Upon the empty road.
Autumn wind
About me grinned
And freed me from my load.
Midnight blue,
Nothing new
Comes around the bend.
There's no one there.
No need to stare.
We'll make it to the end.
Midnight blue,
I love you, too.
Our home is now in sight.
And safe we'll be
Eternally,
Dancing with delight.

marbling and tincture
slates sprain through vermillion

tangerine
a florentine seen
orange to the light
sheens
it appears tan
like a sun high meridian
ran
but under a dim
it appears slim
it almost trims
to become gone
white perpendiculars
its height
ephemere till the day airs
beautiful
it fairs.

Carried Away
These padded walls of my cell are the colour of caraway
fruits in the cakes I am fed; and as pungent as my poverty
O' for the black seed of home, being the cure for every
ailment 'cept death, to cure my madness and set me free

A Study in Light Pink / Titania
She floated like a cloud
into the night within an aura
of light pink light;
ushering in an illusion
of innocence and grace -
a playful naiveté
that took one's breath away
Cold and calculating
she whisked! me from the air
hands tightly cupped together
catching yet another firefly

Lavender
You have become faded
as Miss Havisham,
a Mariana,
but still there remains
traces of your beauty
in soft subtle tones
which cannot be denied,
it is a remembrance
of lingering aromas,
an exotic taste
upon the tip of the tongue,
yet it whisperers of
melancholy.
Next: Magenta

magenta
the mechanics
of the sun
they shine upon
thee
in and out of

a light a breeze
to be
appears to flee
and you to
seas of colour
you are auror.

Beige
Beige is bland,
Works nine to five.
Some wonder how
Beige stays alive.
It just exists
From now to now
Enjoying it
Most anyhow.
Next: light green

light green
is a shade
cream
against
the sun it leans
but against the clouds
it streams
jets of turquoise
it is a dream
such colour is a

A Luminescent Raw Umber Glow
The people, a luminescent raw
umber glow, dance - arms upraised
Outlined in carbon black abstract
they gloat over enemies designated
by red and yellow ochers resembling
hot embers in a crackling fire
A bonfire's blaze adds life and
violence to the flickering tableau
Bison caper gracing another wall
and black-tailed deer evoke the
joy! of the chase; the short-faced
bear and long-toothed cat remind
them all too well of their frailty

In my childhood
In my mind
I find
My scribbly lines
My rivers and lakes
My pines
My Railway signs
Steam train tracks
And a timeline of things
It seems
I left behind.
Between the tines
I find
Of my enchanted forest browns
Burnt umbers, Burlywoods
A little book of mine
A little mind
A little hand
A little sketch I signed
Reminds...
I was forever drawing
All my spare time
At the kitchen table
The partially open blinds
Reminds me the colours I'd colour between
The lines that I sometimes went over
And how it was fine by everyone but I
Of course it refined
In time
Eventually..
Hah...such a funny mind
And funny line of thinking
In hindsight, I find
I'm pleasantly surprised
Next up: Quicksilver
:)
-
Sons of Helaman
A cool quicksilver grume
runs through their veins
Bold as brass
all worldliness they disdain
Chiseled sinews
coiled with raging power
The iron rod tempers
their priesthood's might
Go forth, warriors!
forged of truth and light
And honor the teachings
of your mothers

Cerise
Cherry red
Attraction, taste
And seeds to grow.
They’re likely waste.
It does not matter.
Life will flow.
The cherry’s red
With gifts to go.
