Well when you're Green, I will be your Brown. Like the earth that loves the flowers, I'll will be your solid ground. And I'll be your Azure, when you are Verdigris. We'll be thee most beautiful ocean that eyes have ever seen. And when you're Black, I'll be your White. Mixing all of the colors … I'll make everything alright. Now when you're Blue, I'll be your Red. If something should make you wanna cry, I will feel your pain instead. And I'll be your Orange, whenever you are Pink. We'll be thee most amazing sunset, that the sky could ever ink. And when you're Black, I'll be your White. I'll mix all of your colors … and make everything alright. Should you be Violet, I will be your Beige. Like a sleepy moonlit desert, pastelled in dunes and Sage. And when you're Gray, I will be your Rainbow. We'll be thee most soothing rainstorm the world has ever known. And when you're Black, I'll be your White. I'll mix all of your colors … yes, I'll make everything alright. With love on my palette, painting a glorious sunrise … I'll color all your mornings with a smile and brighten up your skies. If you should find yourself in sorrow from someones hate or lies … I'll take the stars down from the heavens … and paint them in your eyes. So whenever you are Black, I will always be your White. I'll mix all your colors with a promise … everything will be alright. Yes, I'll mix all of your colors with a promise … Everything's gonna be alright.

Colors
Sometimes I wake up to spatial tension and awkward sting, where there are fractions of unwanted proteins and dripping enzymes. Sometimes I wake up to obsidian corpuscles of unknown origin and encounters with sentiment-shakers, dream-eaters, and rafter-rattlers. Sometimes it is as simple as dripping beige, intangible amber, and cold, cold, blue. Sometimes I wake up to nothing, too.

Lotus.
Ah!  Another hero Washed with bleach Like the Son, Who is only holy When rinsed of his Melanin.   I wear a white coat That browns in sunlight - It appears the moon and I Will be good friends. How deep must I scrub To rid my pores of The southeast Asian sun; To wash my hair of Pacific salt? (Even my mother painted herself With a European brush).   How can I know myself When denied the magma In my blood?   It's of no fault of mine That I've been stripped Down to resemble a Colonial caricature - I've been taught The victories And learned Medals are smelt In white gold, But mostly I've been told That mixtures separate And I am mostly Creme with a dash of coffee.   A shame!   Us beige babies must be Assigned colors As if palettes were for paintings Not people - My family tree has Cane fields and apple orchards, So don't act like You're surprised When I mention White isn't the only Color of my skin.

Mixed Doesn't Mean White
As Autumn approaches, my mind drifts to the decaying leaves, Halloween, the cool, crisp breeze... The communal understanding that eternal heaven comes only with death— that Summer must always go. And that beloved Autumn must always usher in bitter Winter who lays the foundations for an exalted Spring. Oh hell...I hope for a long Autumn, I want to make it stay— like a host who lectures his party guest for too long so he won't look at his watch. Oh how I need the frumpy sweaters and pumpkin heads on window sills! Oh how I need the billowing steam from milky beige cocoa, the misty light rain in the gray of the morning, the high canopy of fleshy red flakes! And echoes of children laughing as they eat candy on their way home from trick-or-treating—reminding me that life can be enjoyed with sacred rituals and good company. I need Autumn personified— a cool-headed, crackling-fireplace-girl. A quilt-maker, cloud-gazer, two-dogs-and-a-cat bookworm. Someone comforting like oatmeal. Someone surprising like the first day of school. I need Autumn. I need Autumn but it never seems to need me too.

AARA PRIYANKA CHOPRA BEIGE NET BOLLYWOOD IIFA AWARD SAREE
I’m working to unwrap you slowly To form you up like a theory To create a habitat for you in my head My steps grow wider when I see you at the end Lying, lounging, an old lion Afternoon sun low and tired Rays and shadows streak the road like enveloping arms As I grow closer, you project even further away I just long to reach you Rest my head against your ***** and Sleep against your softness like a pile of feathers To rest at last. But at times I think I’ll never reach you, As I approach you reflect even further away I wonder that this road is endless, thinning into the distance The black wires radiate into the air above me Mutating my simple DNA into something else entirely A sole purpose survivor, a solider The cause is more desperate now They’re buzzing to each other above my head, talking about me Their scrutiny banging between my ears The dust becomes a new layer of me, with incredible thirst Just fields of dehydrated dandelions, just nothing They soak up the liquid from everything With their chemical and electrical waves The fields are screeching as they shrivel up, like dying children Now it’s all yellow, beige, and far away It’s all so tiny against the horizon, For all I know, your silhouette has become a statue by now Just this long stripe of dirt I treat like a passageway Just a ladder to a final place of rest I’m desperate for a stop in my trudging motion But I know I can’t lie down in this unworthy sand.

sienna cities sparkling saturn sunrises sangria skyscrapers sublime. you are kaleidoscoped through and through with window blinds, bed sheets, and street signs. they call you modern art and hang you on a wall of white and beige. your color bleeds. you boil and no *** can hold you. you speak and wind chimes cry, ringing into the empty night, morose. a ballerina can only hope to move as gracefully as you do. your eyes light up like tuscan sun cities sizzling sirius sunsets school bus skyscrapers divine. i’m hooked on your city glow brighter than tokyo.

An upright abutment in the mouth of the Willis Avenue bridge a beige Honda leaps the divider like a steel gazelle inescapable sleek leather boots on the pavement rat-a-tat-tat best intentions going down for the third time stuck in the particular You cannot make love to concrete if you care about being non-essential wrong or worn thin if you fear ever becoming diamonds or lard you cannot make love to concrete if you cannot pretend concrete needs your loving To make love to concrete you need an indelible feather white dresses before you are ten a confirmation lace veil milk-large bones and air raid drills in your nightmares no stars till you go to the country and one summer when you are twelve Con Edison pulls the plug on the street-corner moons Walpurgisnacht and there are sudden new lights in the sky stone chips that forget you need to become a light rope a hammer a repeatable bridge garden-fresh broccoli two dozen dropped eggs and a hint of you caught up between my fingers the lesson of a wooden beam propped up on barrels across a mined terrain between forgiving too easily and never giving at all.

Making Love To Concrete
Overlook the fragile hourglass figure Beyond corsets and pseudo-beauty rules, Endorse thy curves and stretch marks strewn, The dusky skin and frizzy curls, Braille like pimples on the face Discoloration, bumps and pores; This Body shaming, I shall pass. Writhing in pain and humiliation, Drenching in rage and insecurity While I lie, Society curses me Defining and redefining my chastity; 'T was the crop top, the alcohol and the sly behavior. You set the monster free and blame the **** This Victim shaming, I shall pass. Beige and ebony; They call me names blatantly Betwixt skin color and bleached smiles. Laugh and scoff all you want. Harass the Black, detain them, Prejudiced minds rule your dystopian world. This Black shaming, I shall pass. Without creating a labyrinth of stigma, And seeking refugee in collective blame, Let's construct our utopian world Acknowledging all freaks and flaws This Shaming, we shall pass.

This shaming, I shall pass
walking through the woods i was surrounded by a plethora of golden bronze amber leaves tumbling in the wind sparkling with a star fire that evanesced from their jagged edges upon their descent.  i stood entranced, mesmerized, utterly hypnotized by their glorious magnificence.  i observed with intensity as a golden bronze amber leaf never having been attached to the majestic tree had no need to let go but gently released.  feeling no trepidation it wholly lacked desire for manipulation to control the forces of the wind.  i watched in awe and wonder realizing that it never disengaged from the tree knowing that separation is an illusion; it simply became the wind.  whirling it shimmered in the autumn sun as it wafted with no need for reins allowing its destination to unfold.  gingerly cascading it settled tenderly on the ground resting comfortably in ambivalence.  i sensed it did not cringe when it was picked up by an unsuspecting boot but intuitively knew immediately that it was being carried and dropped off serendipitously at an auspicious location.  i listened to it intently and drank in its essence as it simply lay in being not obsessing over what would happen consequent but sat in sheer stillness seemingly encompassing all totality.  i was stunned to see that it lingered without judgment in undivided clarity for what wild synchronicity would come.  it quenched its thirst in mystery while being completely at home in uncertainty.  the golden bronze amber leaf seemed one with all that is while simultaneously retaining awareness of self-perception.  as a gentle gust of wind coalesced with the beige fall sky it literally merged with the momentum enjoying the ride to its perfect destination.  with delicacy it rested cozily in ambiguity whispering to me that heaven is a state and not a place.  i vow surrender to black and white existence pledging fearlessly to climb higher creating life with vivid vibrancy adding golden bronze amber to my palette of colors with which i’ll paint. ©2016 janetaylor

I saw her I saw her smile Focus out through the sparkle Reflecting from her danglers And the ones in the atmosphere. Turquoise sequinned with beige Crackers, all around her Our first new year Where she took me by My hand, entangling fingers Lacing, when she thought she'd Lost me,skipping between White walls and brown floors Finding a way out Through the maze. Low hung ceiling lamps. Dragging me back through my memory doors Remains the same White walls and brown floors While I wait outside. Inside you're having your chemo. Crackers Inside my heart Slithering through my mouth I see her in between Those flinging and swinging Prayer flags, I recollect Hanging them in the backyard Of our home, you Bargained them out A flea market, before That year's Diwali You had inside of you A life that would bless us In three months. A tangerine Georgette Saree And rhyming with it, Rani colored bangles Sneaking up on the roof. Crackers White walls, wooden floors You lie quiet, unmoved. A skyrocket ups in a distance As I light you up in flames. Crackers You'd always come back Focusing, defocusing My memories' pitaara Sparkling, dangling Skipping and lacing Through all those crackers Lighting me up

Crackers.
The room was dank and dreary The past hung in the air There was a scent of mildew A smell of history was there The paint was old and faded With stains all dark and brown The wallpaper too was dated And it needed to come down It was a home for 50 years That stood so strong and proud It comforted all of our fears Far from the madding crowd We stripped away the paper first Each layer a strip in time It showed the old room at her worst It really seemed a crime To tear it down, and think of when Each layer was first applied The walls that seemed so tall again I just stood there and cried I thought about the birthdays Celebrated in this room Of getting covered all in glaze That we cleaned off with a broom The roses were much redder Than I remembered them to be In fact it now looked better Than it did when I was three I remembered Mother loved this And of how it made her smile And she gave Father a light kiss After toiling all the while The next layer though was not as nice "Twas beige and a sort of lime It made the room feel cold like ice It spoke of another, somber time I looked at the wall and I noticed the lines Marking our heights as we grew This was on a paper all covered in vines Mom loved this one, we knew It seemed surreal that Mom was not here To see these passages pass But we knew in our hearts that she was stil near As we looked at paper covered with Bass That was from when Unlcle Jim came to stay And our folks gave up their room To help out a brother who I still love to this day One who can always help brighten my gloom They changed the wall just for him To make it seem more like it was his They put their life on hold for Jim And the wallpaper choice was his The years pass by more quickly now The paper doesn't change too much Jim moved out and that is how The paper changed just a touch Mom got sick and Dad quit work He did the room in flowers for our mom It was at this time we noticed the rooms quirk One of those things that made you go hmmm Far up in one corner behind a section of curtain Dad had left a small square showing the years worth of papers we were certain It was to help mom with her tears Now as we finished we looked to the man Sitting alone in the old corner chair He smiled at us as best as he can But I don't think he knew we were there I handed him some paper and I looked in his eyes He stared clear on through me And then he started to cry This was the last of this paper he'd see Dad and the house now have gone into dust The years get short and have tapered But to go back in time I know all I must Do, is look at my small square of paper.

Chereè, Chereè...Her mommy cried and warned her to be careful, 3 months ago she left home for L.A in hopes for becoming a star. Five foot five, dark green eyes, skin complexion as a beige princess, at a pool party in the hills she met the producer to both whoms sparked interest. She had a voice of gold, a personality so bold, and he had the fill to her mold. So she thought, So she was told, Chereè was gullible a young 19 years old. She moved in with Jazzy, fell in love with him, and his savvy, way of making her feel so **** and strong. For three months he lead her on, head and *** every other night and she never recorded one song. Then he came to her and asking, "Baby do love me…Baby do you care." Thirty minutes after she finished her makeup and hair, they stared into each others eyes, he gave her a tender kiss as he caressed her thighs. "I love you girl, and I always will." As she strapped her heels, he uttered a comment about how love doesn't pay the bills. North Hollywood, for weeks the pay was good, until the night she climbed in the SUV. "What's your name sweetheart." "Whatever you want it to be." She hopped in the truck, and he had something tucked, he turned and flashed L.A.P.D. Just do me this one, and I'll let you go…and she prayed to just get back on the stroll. They went in the back seat, the ***** cop was a freak, he used his cuffs to tie up her hands and feet. She waited till he was weak, he came and then she beat, her elbows into his head and felt for the keys under the seat. He whipped out an 8 inch blade and slit her throat. He kept stabbing, and he ever choked her.....looked at the body, and rolled it over, took his cuffs and gave her a soft kiss on the shoulder, he wiped tears and blood from his face with her thong, because he told her……that'd he let her go. He dumped Chereè on the side of the road, and took off for his Beverly Hills home.………And her mother told her to be careful.

Dancing under digits Spacing between words I count them all Each syllable Once, twice, I heard them dancing in my mind Floating, instant reality Bringing distance Separating elements From pen to page You sing in colour Yet speak so beige Words, what do they mean? Sailing through an infinite horizon Your thoughts like waves Shattering a tranquil line Logical Emotional Trying to entwine Encapsulating a memory That will never be mine.

A Sense of Separation
Lie beneath the galaxy in a cathedral silence, Stay up till the moon dives behind the beige mountains. Rest on your beast, let the valves take a break, Treat yourself with a feast, its the only time in your fate. Slithering into my sack I rest under the canvas, How peaceful it is far away from all the ruckus. The monk's prayers bid me with good luck, I'm off riding in the sparse cold desert. I stop with the view of a disputed lake, Miles long the jade blue reflects the golden tops. In refuge at a monastery, fuel is a luxury, I'd give up everything for a piece of this little heaven.

writing songs sans artifice, that grow better different, different better, the lyrics of a man growing older, insides out, featuring his slips, all showing, eyes squinting from hard lifestyle experience, taking on wearied shades of beige yellowing, a tanned blackness, time edits them, so now, they sound the same but holier, from the hazing of hazards one builds for and by himself, drilling & extracting the spit-shine of all that all is fine, but liquor & cat's paw black shoe polish just can't quite cover 'em up (2), the stabbing itch each of the every time one quests and questions his ego, always another test… why would I ever want that? his fingers create tinkling at rapido pace, tinkling an arrhythmia of rhymes previously perviously (1) unseen, self exploration, that we all realize is an unforgiving, never ending, source of melodic crying out loud; and when the sensual, arrayed pleasures, begin to bore holes of no important consequence, the querys~to~self get even harder to explicate what they intimate, who they implicate, which parts of you, failed to answer satisfactorily… why would I want want that forever?

I don't want to be Billy Joel
Out the window (Speckled glass) Lives being lived (I'm sitting on my *** On the kitchen clock (When will I paint these beige walls?) Time being ticked. (So it goes, after all) And even on the street, That kitchen clock does tick, Madly, furiously ticking-too fast As a life quickly fades (But not mine this time) We (and I) don't care 'Cause we weren't there We(I)'ve no idea How to feel. One life's a tragedy Two lives are jaw dropping. A sports team is urban terror. Fifty lives, a massacre, And at one hundred it doesn't matter anymore Rest in peace, Dear lives seen (On speckled glass) I'm not afraid to die|            Because humans are bad at counting.

'Neath canopy of paradise Super troupers' shafts of light Illuminate his terpsichore; ***** he struts, the impresario Gyrating on spindle shanks; Needle thin and knock-kneed He dances a samba On stage of verdure; Midst Elvis blue-black thrusts, Steel rimmed amber orbs Seek admiring and desirous glances From the dour drab hen, Mousy in her beige twin set And mottled tweed skirt; With nonchalant disinterest she exits The arena; audition over.

Bird of Paradise
Evergreen and ivory Turquoise tears bleed ebony Fuchsia trees bear violet cherries Blood oranges, Mushroom clouds and ashberries. These are the thoughts that grace my mind As I turn to leave Garden gnomes and rose scraped knees Faster now Faster than before Kiss me golden, Less, then more And tell me who I am. Coteries and clandestine deals Soft-sweet midnight chamomile And indigo aspirations Somber February celebrations Anniversaries white and red Blue and green and white and red And can you keep a secret? Black-tea memories always slap me sleepless And I have never known quite exactly how I feel. Clementines suspended in yellow lamplight Cross it out to scarlet rewrite. Beige mountains and Alaskan hills Crescent moon and sawdust mills Silver smiles on a benign boat Blessed if I'm an allusion to a footnote.

Autobiography in Technicolour
*Roaming lioness, Through the plains Yearning for a mate Yearning for a pride In which is gone No lion in sight, The lioness softly roars In emptiness and sadness Her cries not heard By a single ear of a lion She lies softly in the dry beige grass She wants to give up It's all she can do She roars again in frustration She is the last of her kind, Why must it come to this? Last of the lions and lionesses Killed by careless humans Last survivor Last warrioress Lost hope*

she sat on the beige satin couch looking down at her feet which were designed with intricate patterns made of mehndi her nails painted a light pink a color much like the subtle blush on her cheeks she was fair, but not pale, she had a shine to her, a glow her face was hidden for the most with a white lace dupatta like the midnight moon hidden behind translucent clouds most of her hair was tucked neatly away except the loose strand which rested on her forehead a curl, the color of sweetened caramel soft, delicate; and ever so sweet she brushed it back with her small hands but it bounced right back, falling on her face she looked up, slightly titling her head towards the light the way sunlight hit her eyes made you want to never look away oh, her eyes lined with kajal, they stood out the kind of eyes you could find yourself getting lost in hazel and green- with specks of yellow and blue there was a universe within those eyes like the rainforest after a summer sprinkle lush, pure, mesmerizing but they were quickly hidden once more as she delicately pulled the dupatta closer to her face and smoothed down the crease in her silk kameez her movements were entrancing you could not look away the more you looked, the more you craved to catch one more glance gentle, soft, kind never in a rush you couldn't help but imagine what it felt like to feel her touch the only words we heard her speak was right when the sun began to set and the orange-red rays reflected in the pearls around her neck, the only jewelry she wore, yet enough to adorn her her puckered mouth opened softly and she was bearly audible as she spoke her voice like honey: sweet & melodious if she never stopped speaking, you'd never stop listening she spoke with a tender sort of confidence & surety "qabool hai, qabool hai, qabool hai"

*veins of my fingers in riots of blossomed colours like threads made of lilac, lavender, blues and leafs. for the blues are essences of the Elysian skies, while lilacs, lavenders and leafs were stolen from an old man's farm every dawn the sunlit blue wept for the docile stars' hide I knock my knuckles red and wild, like the raspberries from the monsieur's farm my chin against the beige, I gaze to where the magpies talk too loudly on the garden moist swollen and offended by the loud chirps of boisterous dins, the grouchy neighbour cry. I fill my baskets with wild things and papers, I have cheese and juices, fruits and sweet carrots. I have peach trees on my nails for jam I have cherries in my toes for pie I have snows in my lapin's soul for some ice creams I have poppies in my worn pants for a good sight And there's even vineyards of all Verona in my mind the ribbons on the hat loom into the gardens' tunnel; I have herb gardens, I have secret gardens  And I have my old books and pens in there. when my laces are riven, the embroidered flowers are not. the canvas shoes is painted in petrichors and soil my dresses go tattered, sewn with patches into the vines, thorns and russet throats I lilt and leap against smells of rustic wood pencils and redolent flowers There, under a green willow is where to sit and devour wisdom and to drink some saccharine wine with mon lapin and maybe some picnic pies. The abominable tremors will be gone, My morn soul diving into fairy pools of sensuous europhias.*

Fought One, Twenty-two skidoo. Cantankerous mad filamous She, That of her, Me. Piñata, stretched balloon Over my big fleshy ****** Tea and cakes, Painted my nails Painted my lips Like candy. Gold trinkets, Pour like mercury out of my ear. Ouch! I cried My feet in hot sandy Dreams. Flying peacocks tickle My ***** Oranges roll on chalk board tables Over stale rye bread. ***** dribbles out like mucus And a runny nose. Toilet paper and rusty water. ********** on you. Stocking lover. Fetish cover. Woman pusher. Mellifluous **** Look at my skin. Pink, beige, peach, red Porous, greasy, bacteria ridden hide. **** me like seppuku, Smother, suffocate me with Red jelly jam. Lubricate your finger with black Cancerous ash. Stick it in my naval, Unravel my umbilical cord Like so many filaments of my heart. Tear your flesh You auto ********* Rip your liver And force feed it Corn and maize Hay and grass Emory my nails against Red barn walls Until bare skin fundamentals Kisses with salty lips Inflame my ravishing Pig stomach. Kick my shin you Everything, Wake up you stupid ***** Void can be blue skies, Oceans call for suicide. Kiss me with delight, Raspberries tattooed In my ***** Strawberry cream Vanilla, milk, Ponderous infinity, Cotton, dough Honey and sage. Caustic gastric You and not me. Feel my legs, Touch my thighs, Lick my lips, Give me anything Not direct. Tie me up in complexities. **** my head up. Put me in a dream, Make me happy. Blair Butterfield 2004
