In what colors
does love slink off in...
a most unfashionable way
are they deep blues that
finger-paint your
heart with deep despair
does love’s exit hold
some yellow because
you refused to even
try to make it stay.
one must never fear
a dying love
one must work
desperately to put the
pink back in its cheeks
kissing all of its wounds
in hopes for a healing.
mouth to mouth
resuscitation tenderly
applied has been
known to work +
if he or she permits it

sSometimes it leaves
you green with envy
because it ran off
with another love
to paint the town red
as red as your face
when you realize
that it just up and
left you bereft...bereft

Love that is failing
turns a very pale flesh
when it is no longer fresh
your lips are left pressed
into tight lines
that frame the
white canvas
emptied of you
that it left behind.

And as love escapes
it turns pitch black
miming your own nights
alone in the ebony shadows
staring back at all
the much more
colorful memories
it once shared.

Life without love is colorless
and always leads to the question??

What color is hate?
purple like a bruise
left festering in your soul,
scarlet like a blood spill
when angst turns love
into scattered corpses
silver like a bullet or knife
entering the heart
to replace and remove forever
any trace of love.
far more often it is
the gray of apathy
because no one cares
to be hated
to be slated as an outcast

Hate might someday be
revealed in a vast
orange mushroom
eliminating all of love’s color
under a dictator’s desire
to lay the world to waste

Dictators are the colors
of mausoleums,
because they seek
to fill them

Sometimes only the
colors of khaki
can save loves’s
cruel extinctions….
and so loved
ones are sent
in navy blues and
camouflaged tans
and military greens to
snuff the lives out
of all of those who
don’t love them.
but they too have loved ones
who have lost them
to the smoke colored
stench of war.

And it then due to hate
that love is the color
if many tears falling
which transparently
evaporate over the blush
of flesh colored cheeks
leaving only wet trails of
memories behind....................

We must love the world,
We must Love our fellowmen,
or someday the wprld will be
an empty, lifeless rock,,,,,,
holding nothing but ashes
forever............................"

"Peace to you and yours this holiday."
