Red lipstick makes you think I want you
I wear all black simply to daunt you
With pink flowers to awaken your gaze
And let you imagine my innocent days
Brown eyes to watch you wake
Under heavy lashes, to filter your face
Blue days in a cloudy haze
With white cotton clouds to give us shade
Yellow sun and silver moon
Mixed with the orange and violet late noon
Green grass after the storm
Reminds me that I have no need to mourn
Grey everything; a forecast forlorn
I can’t see your silhouette anymore
Just light and dark shadows in monochrome
And the glistening road where I seek my way home
All of the colors that I know
Couldn’t form a scene where I hold you close
In the damp air, a sunlit rainbow
Promised me the floodgates will close –
I’m still waiting.
Beyond this Smile
