a world of opposites

a world of opposites surround me round

return to me a single echo of silent sound

a voice unheard, loud and strong

reverberates, vibrates, hums along

the walls of contrast reflect the light

a prism of colors: blind eyes delight

a single hue, from every face

lost then found, chromatic trace

barriers of belief block the way

hindering the path on which I stay

anchored fast to unbelief

frozen stand in endless grief

loveless lovers fill the void

unloved hearts once destroyed

unsung love songs fill the air

some who love but do not care

potent portent future found

past is passed in days unwound

ones forgotten, ones foretold

remembered memories, lies untold

buried treasure, costless find

wealth unmeasured, paupers mined

priceless objects priced to sell

fortune spent on pyrite’s spell

A Long

❤ ❤ ❤

Someone asked, "What would your life be without color?" I answered, "My life would be pallid and pale without color. Each day would be drab, dreary and dismal. There'd be no primary colors, no rainbows, no yellow sunshine, no red-blue-yellow sunsets and no white clouds. No white snow or black storm clouds. I'd walk in an indistinct and neutral existence. No green trees, no green grass, no blue seas, no blue skies, would leave me cheerless and dry. My face would not turn red with anger or embarrassment. My face would not turn white with fear or pain. I'd not grow green with envy. Nothing would be just black and white. My life would be full of motionless emotion, if there were no color. © 2013 ajwrites57 Image URI: http://mrg.bz/fwDYZp Image URI: http://mrg.bz/g6haeq By Hairysuncold Please find my other writings on Hub...

Love Builds - Love Makes

These poems are dedicated to my friend +kim hodges and to new love. Love Builds MARCUZZI AND FRA By lufra Love builds, blossoms, blooms. Love covers, hovers, discovers. Love flowers, showers, empowers. Love thinks, remembers, forgets. Love grows, knows, shows. Love shields, yields, heals. Love finds, blinds, binds. © 2013 ajwrites57 A Long Love Makes Love makes you fly, gets you high. Love makes laugh, makes you cry. Love makes you sigh, makes you wanna try. Love gets you giddy, makes you feel pretty, Love empowers you to take a city! Love makes you happy, makes you feel sappy. Love makes your heart sing, Love gives you thoughts of queens and kings. © 2013 ajwrites57 A Long Photo By CynthiaNaniOKeefe If you enjoyed these poems, find more here.
