"palletes" poems
he will always be my heartbreak,
the muse that comes with every unsung melody
of a new lover.
he will always be the scar that permeates
through every touch
and piece of love that others give
now that he is gone and out of reach.
he will always be bittersweet,
and though i have moved onto better palletes,
i will always still have a taste for his words
that gave me the wings to write my own.

Beauty is in the mind of a poet
Beauty in words so vividly crafted
To form the perfect picture
From that tiny ember left from last nights fire
Breathed upon and brought once more to life
Like the phoenix from the ashes
Great works become alive
Yes, poets are artists
Words the color palletes
The pen wielded with such consummate skill
The brush that paints the picture
A poem can draw us into another world
Alice Through The Looking Glass
Narnia
Poetry takes us there
It allows us to sail wide oceans
Takes us above the rain forest canopy
Allows us to soar high with the eagles
Takes us to places that inspire
Poets and poetry

You were yellow,
like dandelions and daffodils catching whispers of the wind.
You were like the sun, a blazing luscious shade of bright gold.
I was blue,
like the light sky with white overtones.
Blue like the wrathful sea trapped in a single teardrop.
Tints varying from Cyan, Azure and Ceruleam.
Our colours began to bleed into each other like the gentle caress of a brush against a palletes. Forming a lush green.
I soon realised that you were moving away in an attempt to find other colours and combinations,
As green was just never for you.
We were two colours in a head first Collision,
oblivious to the fact that we had to blend to become perfect.
I was left barren and began to fade,
Transforming to a lifeless grey.
A mixture of black and white.
When light and dark combine but neither win.
In my monochromatic world,
There was suddenly a flash of red.
Scarlet and Vermilion danced before my eyes and lay smeared on my fingertips.
He was Crimson like the sweet fragrant rose,
burgundy like the blood in narrow veins.
He was a sight to behold with tinges of auburn.
He didn't mind my fading stains of yellow that you left behind like scars,
He just focused on healing my once shades of blue.
Together we mingled; Navy blues and Ruby reds,
I turned from dull to bright.
I was now sapphire and Prussian blue,
and we created a shade of vibrant purple.
He was still red,
and I remained blue.
But together we touched and turned into a beautiful lavender hue.

While this usually means
What would Jesus do
I have a wiley scheme
To share another with you
Standing in the yard
Around the fire pit
Thinking we're goofs
Not getting chairs to sit
We are really cold both inside and out
I'm think this weather needs a manual
So I stand up and shout
WWJD. We want Jack Daniels.
Gentleman would be smooth
Single barrel would be better
But I'm to cold to move
Wife volunteers so I let her
She comes back with the Jack
And a stack of cups
Its okay that its old no 7 black
Friends arrive and I say what's up
We pour a round
To **** the chill we are mired
We begin to mound
More wood upon the fire
We empty the bottle with a little tear
This tradition is annual
Friend pulls out another one says have no fear
he shouts WWJD we want Jack Daniels
The whiskey, continuous pour
No one is leaving here tonight
Palletes on the floor
The sky is clear and bright
The party winds down
Our friendship is unequal
Nobody wears a frown
Forged by WWJD we want Jack Daniels
