COLORS OF LIFE

I touch your name on the cold gray marble
Underneath the others
The sculptor's sharp edges cut deeply
A blood red petal falls
Color of life
Warm with life
Memories are wallpaper
Lining an empty hole
You left no progeny to fill it
With copies of your eyes
A cerulean tear falls
Color of sky
Color of sadness
Color of life
When your look begged for more
A golden lock of baby hair falls
Color of sun
Color of life
Glistening on the beach
As you run along the sand
Laughter falls
A babbling brook
Sparkling
Contagious
Color of pleasure
Color of life
I tried to be the missing father
Did I forget to be mother
Color of emptiness
Color of unknown
Confetti friends
Fall to their knees
At your grave
Too late to love
Colors of emotions
Colors of life
Lavender evening falls
Color of addiction
Color of death
Night falls
Black

no color



                                    



If you weep because the sun has gone out
Your tears may blind you to the stars
Rabindranath Tagore
