So many colors in the world
too many to see
and pick from.
people that have a favorite color
astound me.
How can you choose something that
stands out in a world of beauty?
Who am I to say that green is my favorite color
on a day when I am clearly feeling blue?
Tell me something I don't know about a color,
and I will absorb into my skin
and live in the pigment.
But show me a pretty flower and suddenly
I'm consumed by red.
Let me smell a beautiful scent
that reminds me of purple,
or a song that screams magenta
and I am nothing but the rainbow.
I need to pick a favorite color
Mosh Microbiomes Mar 2020
Excuse me, Sir,
If i could just have a minute of your time?
To tell you about the colour purple
It's fading. No, I don't need your dime!

Just your attention, ATTENTION
We march at dawn albeit some can fly
Together we can find the other dimension
Where the purple things go to die

Let's walk & talk, yes that's not rude
Yes Sir, I know you need to save your pension  
But next we stand to lose red & blue, isn't that crude
If we could only extend our observation?

Without purple, how will we embrace the rain
Our purple polar bears are dying, excessive pain
Purple lives matter, purple rights matter
Yes Sir, I understand you can't physically care

But Sir, saving purple today is essential
Tomorrow purple can save white, it has the potential!
Take this pamphlet at least, won't hurt
Have a good day sir, excellent purple shirt!

Opening
Shining
Angel of the Sun
Each Color of the Rainbow
One by one                            
Red
Orange
Yellow
Orange  
Blue
Purple

Dancing together
within the  white crown of unity.
Twinkling and shining
Mirroring the universe within
Yes,  sea of green leaves in a
Breath of the blue azure sky!

Rainbows from violet to magenta
Together within my crystalline gift
Forever within the heart of unity!

My dear Angel of the Sun
You have blessed me with
The fire of life!

A knowing  intuition,
Echoes, we are all
Suns within the Universal Heavens!

Reaching out with her warmth,
"My dear Butterfly, fly!"
"My dear Angel of Sun, thank you."
Today, I began painting an acrylic painting of the Angle of the Sun. This poem came to me during a meditation I participated in to begin the  intuitive painting process.  It was a beautiful day today. The sun shone most of the day.
Euphrosyne Feb 2020
You pretend you’re alright,
laugh when you’re sad,
hide your true feelings;
never show if you’re mad.
Keep to yourself
does no good to fight,
simply try your best
to stay out of sight.

Here in this world
of black and white
you just don’t fit
so you live in the night;
hide your color
in a heart so deep
and dream of rainbows
in your sleep.

But deep inside
a greater light shines
through pain and sorrow,
space and time.
There’s red and green,
yellow and blue,
pink and orange
and yes, purple too.
A lasting assurance
that beyond the fears
you’re not alone
with all those tears.
You are seen and loved,
this you know;
the rainbow’s there
to tell you so.

But it’s hard in your dark reality
in the world of black and white,
no one appreciates the color purple
until they see you there in the light.
To be honest I'm hurt the way how you treat me like I'm nobody like we never had a friendship or something a relationship

she's taking a bath
in the purple sea
she wants me
to see her naked
it's the first time

feel me:

the shores
being newborn
breezes'n'waves

we make love and are feeling
each other
more deeply
more intimately
as ever before
Today is a goooooood day.
HEAVEN YEAH!

God bless all you guys here on Hello Poetry, regardless of your skin color, gender, age, ****** identity, religion, money.

Feel me...

To be honest, I have been suffering under one of the meanest burdens:

LONESOMENESS

AND THAT'S WHY I had to write this poem here...

I was just interrupted by a waitress; been writing in a café in a small German city. Have to be here due to my dependency. Can't be in Frankfurt right now.

Haven't seen my kids for almost a month now and I am missing you like crazy, Nicholas, I am missing you like I can't tell you, Eden.

I NEED YOU!

(I have two children, a son who is five and a half years old and a daughter being five months.)

My father is on welfare, my mother works as a theatre actress. I have eight siblings, spread over numerous countries.

I'm the first one in the family who went to college and I always was an a-student because I love to learn.

And with my degree, I have been earning good money but this kind of "success" goes along with a mean inferiority complex, you know?

I don't know if you know; but apart from knowing there is someone I NEED:

GOD

YOU HAVE BEEN THERE.
ALWAYS.
YOU'RE THE ONLY BEING WHO IS ABLE TO LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY.
THAT'S WHY I WILL BE KEEPING THE FAITH...

FOREVER YOURS
MIKEY

In mental compartment of mind
a delicate balance must be found.
Boxes of memories are stacked
careful not to tip them
Careful to stack into their
color coded container.

Red for past pain
Blue for sadness that forsaken me
Green for money had lost and had again.
Purple for people who come and go.
Yellow for happy thoughts to fly in mind.
Orange for moments of change needing to accept.
Pink for memories of play with inner child.
Indigo for dreams seeded for future.

A mental compartment in mind, I carry.
And sometimes they tumble only for me
to re examine, cry,
and make a rainbow.
Inspired by Temporal Fugue-a fine poet
Nilia Loh Dec 2019
Shades of purple,
Taped with love.
Royal blood,
Within common veins.
Clothed like any,
Walked like many.
Unaware that
you are worthy.
Deeply loved.
Deeply cared for.
You are worth more than
diamonds and gold.
Made to be royalty,
Made to be so much more.
