ruby
the singent
true gris
in red and green
and the mix
is sheen
almost divine
camomille yellow
Common as a daisy
Growing free and lazy,
As a tea
They comfort me
To keep me calm not crazy.
Light green
light green
shall you be seen
behind the thin
image of sin
i shall infuse
you
till you trim
and then you're
back even and
bright
brighter then right
light green
be firmly seen
over the rainbow
is a dream
for you to
realm
and that is it
from nature green
light red
The way the sun set in the west
Made David wonder what's the best
Way to paint this pinkish sight,
A little red though fading light.
Violet
You left me blind
From one long glimpse
your ultra violet
radiance
burned the minds eye
A supernova tide
All sensation gone
A dark delight
your bliss.
Onyx black
Deeper than the night,
a sightless oblivion,
the color of my soul,
beyond darkness,
eater of the light,
hypnotic beauty,
lurking in the shadows,
trespassing across the heart,
the color of silence
and nothingness,
and a glimpse
of unseen
visions.
Next: Emerald
Jealousy is green
Or emerald when seen
With eyes turned bright and mean.
He won't forget.
And so be on your way.
The grass is green today,
Emerald, one might say,
When it gets wet.
Next: Maya blue

Benjamin's through

few
emeralds of truth
next: white
white clouds
below us
"folks, we have reached
our cruising altitude
seat belt sign off
feel free to move
us with your poetic
imaginings"
Next: Sapphire Blue
he had been purple for a while
his hand raised so as to say wait, wait
a little more, a little more
but he was gone like Poe's Leonore
that pizza with anchovies did him in
the internist had predicted
trombone sapphire blue
Next: alabaster
Alabaster will not last
If left outside with rain to wear.
The wind abuses it out there.
Its form will change then wash away.
That's why inside it gets to stay.

Untitled 2
Treehugger, spike in hand,
castoff from a rock n' roll
band meets
Chainsaw-teeth, he with
muddied boots
and hardened profile,
in a bar; a tatoo haven
for mavericks and mavens
.
Amongst the stale haze
and staler music that
blares and decays -
declaring a half-life
of better days
A conversation is
struck ( then a chin: Amok! )
the starry-eyed strangers
oblivious stare
Exchanging lies, belying
the small talk
of a higher purpose,
( tables roll, bottles fly )
A gun reports - to no one
in particular: Most heads start
... one falls
.
What might have been -
a genealogy never ending
topples like dominos
laid in a row
An alabaster casket of white
bereft of dreams,
is lowered slowly, a solemn strain,
as Chainsaw-teeth is laid
to rest with few in attendance:
even fewer tears
.
Somewhere Treehugger sighs
and searches within -
then carves a poem into
a redwood tree that never dies

next: lilac
Lilac
lilac flashbacks
fragrant country roads
cruisin' in my pontiac
convertible mode
Next color is: silver
Silver bells and silver linings,
Silver prices trending where?
Silver bullets for the vampires
Just in case I find some there.
Next: gold
autumnal aspen trees
of white bark and golden leaves
awakened
on rocky mountain breezes
dancing like weightless gold coins
blue sky glitter
Next color: faded blue-jean blue
(a benjamin moore paint color)
She's worn a little at the knees
from blowing my bugle,
faded blue-jeans blue (reminds me of Madonna in that 80s film), Oh no Oh Billie Jean,
no no she's not my girl,
but still, sometimes I like to call her on weekends
for mutual fun.
Oh, and the boy is not my son.
Crimson
Her blowing crimson-colored hair,
Like flames of wayward fire,
Caught those who strayed too long to stare
Then struggled with desire.
Next: brown
murky reflections
of missed opportunities
regrets that bleed in hues
of raw umber, bitter coffee
and burnt sienna
Next: "Aubergine" - (dark purple eggplant)
There was a happy eggplant.
He had a purplish hue.
He looked so peaceful growing there,
But now he's in my stew.
Next: lapis blue
When Vermeer painted "Woman in Blue"
And the "Girl With a Pearl Earring" too
He ground the Lapis Lazuli stone
On his own, in his home
for the perfect hue
of blue.
Next color: Pearl
Pearl
Opaque
purity
inciting much desire
while concealing
secrets,
reveling nothing,
clouded beauty
it seems so passive,
while creating
such turmoil,
taunting sensuality
a truth coated
behind many lies,
how chaste
while so oft
the cause
of new fallen blood
bit it only calmly
waits untouched.
Next: Turquoise
The smartest Turkish folks have strange eyes
Not grass green nor as blue as the skies
This odd color was named
By an old king, who claimed
That "there's wise, and then there's Turk wise."
Next: Clear, like water or glass
Peering through the clearing
Missing what is there,
Clear as ice, and more-so, nice.
I skipped the clear, fresh air.
Next: bright sky blue
Remember when
diamonds danced
on every tip
of bright sky blue
rippled waters,
and sunshine
cast lights on walls
among shadows?
Ah, young love.
Next color: midnight blue
a poem just a bit late I'd like to share:
Sierra Blue and Gold
Bright sky blue
eager dews
Alpine lakes
crisp and cool
Sierra's refuge
earth and sky
Golden treasures
forever near
7/13/2013 r.8/9/2013
Partially borrowed from a cacian poem:
Scorpio
the mystery
in your eyes
is like the
nocturnal sea -
cold
midnight blue;
seething -
as nothing
is hidden
from your gaze

They sparkle silvery, shiny, bright.
The pockets on her jeans love light
And when she walks her hip-flip sway
Will hypnotize the boys today.
Next: yellow

Topaz Skies
Sing to me of topaz skies
Feel my heartbeat quaver
as I gaze into your eyes
Say you love, love
as you gaze into my eyes
Feel my heartbeat quaver
Sing to me of topaz skies

Too light be a proper pink,
Too dark to doubt it's not,
It's misty, shy, so one might think.
Up close it's just as hot.
Next: spring green
spring green
meet me clean
and you shall ween
palaces seen
mahogany
Woods grow dark with myths grown old,
Forgotten, so they won't get told,
Yet warm the surface, brown and fold
In music, hints of what they hold.
Next: Viridian

you go
to skys of low
you flow
to peaks of

viridian you woe
rivers are mystic

when you appear
to strow
