Drink deeply of this chalice red, I've dubbed the color of regret. It's filled to full of hope not dead- To quench your thirst termed violet. Eat this wafer, tinged forest green~ For envy now; what failed to last. Your hunger-lust still yet unseen, In blue-sky hue of this repast. You dine on danger, what is done. Torturing with pearly appeal. For love is dead yet hope's still spun; Fate's earthen curse is now revealed. No closure when that spark of light Beckons golden as morning's sun. Demons are laughing in delight, Since hope's blackened bane is now come. |

Oh, I see how you are - post a poem we "concepted" together - while I'm stuck out on the highway driving... And to do such a good job with it too...I hate you!!! "By Love found dead, hope yet may live, Forever!!!" Great poem Chris. Michael |

***A hush fell over the crowd*** Amazed by the splendor of your talents. You create a rainbow of colors within my monochomatic world. You also gave me insight into your future....perhaps black and blue?? What do you think Michael??? ![]() ***And then the deafening roar of applause*** |
