Vivid

[CdnReader]

.

I wander alone....
with thoughts of you following my every step.

Jade memories of what we once were
A deepness of shade and shadow that blankets the forest.
I draw the dark cloak around me,
covering shoulders chilled by the disappearance
of the evening sun.

Crimson flashes of passion spent
Tinkling down to earth in handfuls of rubies....
sparkling where the moonlight grasps a faceted piece of magic.
I gather them in the folds of my skirt
and set my soft lips upon each one
before placing them gently
in my pocket.

Indigo blue the night sky shines....
glittering star diamonds sprinkled.
I reach up and pull down the heavens,
fold it in neat quarters, and tuck it into my belt....

And in sleep I dream of you
....clothed in vivid colours.

Great!!! Very lovely, as Granny says!!!
I love all the color references! It is a magical poem, one that brings nostalgia to the soul. One that makes me want to walk next to you, and see what you see.

Thanks very much, Sweets. I had fun visualizing all the colours and sparkly things. :)

Ah, a Gypsy at heart, at least, would love the colors, mais non?

Wonderful how the profusion of incandescent images comes down to that quieter ending!
