Roses are crimson
But violets have fine hues
Others may glisten
But you make me light a fuse
When you show your true colors

Your smile is a portrait
Bright and full of color
It brings me such good fortune
When I am feeling under

Passionate red ever present
Curious pink always with it
May joyous green never relent
And the others remain unslit

For my sake, smile bright and bold
I want our fortune to thrive
My outline will not hold
Without those colors five

To Chronophobics
New Years Eve is Halloween
Let them sleep early

My cap hides papers in its bill.
I find a new message each day.
They always give neat information.
How it knows these things I cannot say.

It told me why the stars twinkle.
It told me how most caps are sown.
Yesterday it told me you hate me.
So I guess I should leave you alone.

My thinking cap just informed me:
That you beat it, so it would die.
Why would you do that? I hate you too!
You can't fool me! My cap wouldn't lie!

You make me so conflicted
Are you a friend or faux
I feel like I'm afflicted
With what I cannot know

I wish that you were here
Not stuck inside my head
Does that make me the bier
Supporting what is dead

Or rather, what never lived

Shivering in warmth
Never a pleasant moment
Despite all reason

Locked knees
On a trapeze
Are sure to cause catastrophes
