Today is your birthday
I haven't cried in awhile
Today tears fall
You haunt my dreams
You continue to be the muse
of my poetry

I wish, pray for it to stop

Colors

where have the colors gone
my inner landscape
desolate
barren
made dead by the blasts
of a million nuclear heartbreaks
that rendered my soul's demise
leaving only emptiness
and emotional limbo

The angels long ago abandoned
this place
replaced by turbulent skies
that speak of winter
yet no snow falls
Where even a dusting
of that pristine white
would be a welcome contrast
to the greyness that engulfs
my very being

Where have all the colors gone
The passion of life
that lifted my spirit and filled
my world with love
carried away on the wings of a raven
across borders I will never know
never to return
Lady Lullaby thanked this post.

    How beautiful yet full of sorrow.
    I hope your tears stop and your soul becomes a playground of life and laughter.

    I identify strongly with these feelings, perhaps for different reasons. Beautiful.

    Thank you both for your comments.
    To hear "beautiful" used to describe my
    words is the highest of compliments.
    I am humbled and proud at the same time, if that makes sense.

    Mmmmm... My heart aches reading your poetry and I really appreciate your heart that's exposed in it. Thank you.

    Good poetry comes from the gut and is almost always a confession of a bleeding heart. I felt your soul reading that. I hope you find a way to heal.

    Thank You INFPPP..

    I write a poem to purge my soul. This I do for my own value.
    If someone else can feel it , then I would call that a success of sorts, and that is also of value.

    This is the essence of 'good-bye'...colorless, empty, cold. Most definitely. You are your own color worth celebrating - in case you forgot during this good-bye.
