Longing For Brighter Colors
What if the spectrum is still holding out?
What if some colors remain unlit?
What would you wish if you hadn’t a doubt
you had the chance to alter it?
If hue and shade were up to me -
if wishes regarding the spectrum were free,
I think I’d take the liberty
to ask for a tweek here and there,
because my heart is screaming for
a chance to prove that living’s more
than 'blues’ from birth to exit door
as voluminous vagabonds swear.
‘Longing for brighter colors’, she said;
I thought to myself, 'She’s right!’
‘Brighter colors’ to dazzle our heads
when boredom comes knocking at night -
colors that tuck us all into our beds
and smile while dimming our lights.
Brighter yes -
more color shapes too.
And while I’m wishing,
I’d love to have
colors
that get to change
colors:)
I want tie-dye to breed with gray
so we have something
to drape over the equator.
Invisible colors that smell
like caramel
and fresh wheat.
I want greens
that don’t have to stop shining
just because the sun is going down,
and reds sufficient to generate
undying admiration for nature.
A whole field of glowing crops
with chromatic stalks
(that talk)
each capable of producing a rainbow.
Northern Lights that clap-on
and clap-off.
Renegade systems of anti-colors existing
in the negative space would be neat,
while you’re dolling out dreams.
Wait, yeah,
dreams can make up new colors too,
if I’m setting the rules,
and they can marry them
and have baby colors that get to live forever.
Every one has some of their own secret colors.
I’d like the second best and brightest color,
the nearly-most beautiful hue only,
to be housed in the eyes of one’s lover.
Don’t forget that;
Most would trade all the other colors
to heartily hang on to those...
(if they had to only though).
(The super—secret colors—
the brightest -
the fully-most beautiful colors
can stay with God
where they scintillate
most happily.)
If I’m calling the shots,
no color HAS to grow up.
Fading is optional.
How 'bout paroling a few
more prism inmates so as
to possibly enhance
the likes of even Fall!?
Yeah, colors are cool.
Colors breathe if you do.
My colors get to wear shades.
They get to wear togas as well.
My colors pretty much have it made
as far as my heart can tell.
I want colors
to learn karate
so they can kick
Eternal Darkness’ hiney.
Plus, colors get to be
cold or warm
depending on whichever will do
more Good for the universe as a whole
at any given time...
Also... colors are never wrong.
Oh, yeah, right, forgot
the most important thing:
colors get to love
or I won’t even play at all.
