Color Me <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />In lavender shades I think of you <br />with soft accents of calm blue <br />in dreams I'm lost in misty form <br />instilled visions of yesterdays that were warm <br /> <br />foggy thoughts seem now gray and worn <br />for tomorrow is weary, as feelings torn <br />as the sunshine that fell upon my face <br />is but a memory concealed, hindered by life's chase <br /> <br />bewildered and wanting the hearts desire <br />I'm reminded that love lost it's fire <br />alone seems desperate as helpless feelings grow <br />questions without answers for myself, I'm ignorant I know <br /> <br />darkness covers my eyes in dull shades of gray <br />as I recall a time when I love you was easy to say <br />like a vapor of mist I seem to disappear in a crowd <br />but inside my heart I still cry out loud <br /> <br />color me lonely as I stand in tears <br />and look for escape in upcoming years <br />a heartbeat runs pure red <br />but it's the next heart beat I dream<br /><br />Myrtle Thomas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/color-me-8/
