The Wait

Disclaimer: This is regarding one of my recent experiences with love and the lack of it. This was one of the poems I wrote at that time. The person I wrote this for, I never got to know them. Although it doesn't have much bearing right now, it's a memory nonetheless.

This may be a trap date
You know what happened that fall late

Said I will take a chance
Heart pounding at every glance
The picture of sophisticated grace
The smile that could melt the toughest face

I need to know you
But I better not haste
I've seen what happens
When on the other side of the gate

Now I wait as my heart pounds
Every time the phone rings the tone aloud
I don't know why they won't reply
I think I am being silly, ain't I?

Colors

Some things are green Some are blue Then there are those Violet and crimson too! Colors make our lives sane Colors make thoughts rain Colors exist never in vain Whether you wear a crown or are insane Health can be pink Mind can be blue Death is purple Black protests the undesirable Gray's an emotion mighty true Gold is the heart of someone you knew White is peace. Red is love. Colors are life. Don't you think so too?
