the color of you
one day when I look back
on how I adored you in silence
i will remember the tint of your words
how my every breath
was inspired by your hues
and if by chance the day arrives
where you become a sepia memory
nothing will ever change
for i will always cherish
the color of you
Beautiful ❤

Oh, how it would be to be cherished for the colours of your words… This poem makes me think of the phrase ‘true colours’ – colour as a fundamental aspect of our being. The way you describe colour here is like describing true love, love for every hue, every shade or tone of who we are. Beautiful.

Haunting and beautiful. Now I wonder what her colors are? What colors do you see when you picture her? Is it a flash of a red skirt as she dances the flamingo? Ebony hair swept up wild and free? Or more subdued? Pale pink cheeks like the soft coral sands and a shy smile that blossoms into laughter when she is loved? See what you do? You bring out the lyrical metaphors in me. Your poetry often inspires me.
And the words “adored her in silence…” Oh Drew, I wish you could tell her. I hope she isn’t married! (Teasing.) Or is she even real? Because the way you speak of her is as a man very much in love. If she’s not real…you have an amazing imagination. If she is…then lucky her! Sending my hugs and kisses dear friend xoxoxo

Smiling so hard. You are the first and only person to comment on the “adored her in silence.” I was expected more comments regarding that. I try to nject real love into my poetry. Recalling how I felt in the past. Doing my best to re-feel (if that is a word) the love and passion.

I know a few others have commented about the “sepia memory” line but it is worth mentioning again because it adds such a beautiful subtext. The narrator does not see the past in black and white or even through the optimistic rose-tinted lenses, but instead sees it for what it is. It is in between and as normal a memory as any other memory. It belongs with the other memories and not as something merely nostalgic. I don’t know if that was your intention or not but either way, great line and great poem.
