~ The Poet's Place Cafe~

Shades of You
Smoky like right before a summer storm
Orange like the violence of fire
Black like screams with the life choked out
Fist of fury swing down hues of purple
White disappears from crazed eyes
Pink parts of me wish to push off the offending visitor
I know this once handsome face, brown like mine
Puce anger, I cannot fathom, comprehend this moment
I am still, lifeless, wash worn gray
Translucent snot and tears blanket my face
Why?
