A dark hopeless black replaces what was
The blue of the sky
The white of a dove
Tumultuous, fiery yellows and pinks
The sunset has gone
Its colors retreat
Blood from a cut, sticky and dark
Crimson’s the color
where it leaves its mark.
Dark purple, the bruises left on a cheek
With a tinge of pale yellow
designating the weak
Chartreuse the color of liquor that spills
Pale blue and useless,
the color of pills.
A cold, hard gray wall, a curtain that’s faded
Blinds, sickly yellow.
A pale hand that’s jaded.
The color of words shouted angrily out,
A monotonous haze
of self-hatred and doubt
Taupe forceful hands, pull harder once more
Harsh colors fade
From a brown lifeless floor.
Shimmering stars dance about with no sky
a darkening blue
surround two swollen eyes.
A dark hopeless black replaces what was,
Contrast and compare
The color of love.
Red hot the inferno, no room for doubt
Three men walk in
Four men walk out.
A dark silver stone, round and compliant
the color of love
that took down the giant.
Dark gray the fish, a whale of a trout
The colors quite vivid
When it spit him out.
Red was the name of the sea split in two
On both sides a wall
Of sinewy blue.
A rainbow of yellow, blue orange and gold
The color of promise
From ages of old.
A dark hopeless black replaces what was
but nothing replaces the color of love.
