~ Colors of my life ~

Colors of my life............


If I could control the colors in which define my life.
I would take away the grays and blacks
that shadow me through the nights.

I would paint with pinks and lavendars and aqua shades of blue,
for those are the colors that tinted my world
when I spent my life with you.

The beaming bursts of yellow and the various shades of green,
the passionate essence of the color red remind me of just how much you mean.

If I could rewind the book of my life
when all I saw was black and white
until you came and colored me.

My eyes can only see the shadows of the colors I once knew,
the vivid glimpse of orange and magenta that showed me my love was true.

The darkest colors of the saddest grays and the bubble of blackness
that surrounds me each day,
are the only colors in which I now see since you went away and left me.

I can only hope that oneday
I will be able to see that beautiful rainbow of color
that you once introduced to me.

It's magnificent ribbons of color that shine so very bright,
I will always hold within my heart so close to me and so tight.

I would rather be blind
if I shall never see all of the colors that you brought forth in me.
I can only pray that you will come and paint my life once more,
for without your array of luminous colors
I have nothing to live for.
