i feel i have been blind for so long
for the color has seeped from my world.
Blue - the sky in the morning,
flying kites in spring with my only love.
lying on our backs at the dike,
looking at the clouds.
Green - the grass in summer,
cool on our feet as we chase one another... tickle fights.
the color of our eyes,
as we gaze into each other's souls.
Red - the color of the trees,
as we hike through the woods.
the color of our blood rushing through our veins,
as we make love for the first time... under the leaves.
Our love was yellow like the sun.
The flames of our desire were orange like the fire we both love.
Violet darkness draped around us like secret lovers.
but then...
grey is the world i see through my eyes.
color has seeped from even the brightest moments.
black is my heart, rotting from within.
depression reins.
but then...
what is this i see?
perhaps...
perhaps that is a little mauve...
or maybe a deep russet...
a little color returning?
do you think it could be?
after all this time...
or is it just a ghost?
a ghost of what was...
intsead of what will be.
i guess i must wait...
i must wait and see.
if the colors of my world,
will indeed return to me.
