    The colour of life

    The colour of life: divorce
    Lubricated skin, by tears of joy,
    swimming with the rainbows
    colour scheme to keep my life
    out of shades of black and white.
    Fresh sandy bays wash rocks
    upon our dreams beaches,
    scorching the sun with
    A smile of warmth.
    Tiled sunrises reach to the
    imagination, stretching
    the lips to droop into
    crimson floors.
    Bloated speech gives
    A sense of constipation
    In the thought of man kind.
    Fruit scented perfume
    lifts the volume of
    silence to talk in
    jest of lipstick on collars.
    Romance in violence
    seems to be a
    preference to the
    broken church bells.
    whiskey flavoured
    ball gowns in a glass
    made prom queens
    camera poses lift
    the spirit of red nose
    celebrations of nothing

    Fuelled by green bottles
    vanishing self respect
    into a form of yesterdays
    hollow promises.
    Humble comments
    Made by the makers
    Of free speech,
    they almost seem
    to cloud our sky high
    blue seas of life.
    Messages inside shards
    speaking words of
    poetry to voluptuous
    lovers, yet promise
    nothing more than
    misfortune as the
    deeper meanings speak
    volumes over appearance.
    Pondering upon trivial
    occasions, yet nothing
    worth the mention.

    I really enjoyed this opening bit, you need an apostrophe before the s in rainbows but the image you painted here is strong man. This is perhaps my favorite piece of the poem.

    Tiled sunrises reach to the
    imagination, stretching
    the lips to droop into
    crimson floors.
    Bloated speech gives

    In this segment the opening line made my pause, tiled sunrises i took to represent something along the lines of a yellow brick road, strengthened by the fact that it leads to imagination. The last bit i really liked though and leads into...

    Romance in violence
    seems to be a
    preference to the
    broken church bells.

    I took the broken church bells to further symbolize infidelity, the lipstick on collars alluded to that but adding whiskey and violence to it seem to solidify it. Also the imagery you showed with the line 'whiskey flavoured ball gowns in a glass...' was great man using the word 'spirit' further alluded to the alcohol reference and overall this was a really well written portion of your piece.

    The entrance into this piece i liked, however in conjunction with the end of the previous stanza confused me. I took the green bottles to be beer (perhaps it's wine or perhaps neither) well upon reconsidering i suppose the desired effect is that it represents alcohol again, which is shown in the 'vanishing self respect' part which i liked. The closing few lines in which you talked about a message in a bottle showed strong imagery as well i found this to be one of the most poignant points in the poem.

    And we've reached the end, the wording in 'Pondering upon..' seemed a bit odd to me as was the way you ended it, almost as if to say that all of what you've described is trivial or perhaps that life itself is full of trivial occasions. I'm not really sure but maybe i'm digging too deep for meaning and i'm missing the face value appeal of it. Either way i enjoyed this man, thanks for the read. I hope you keep writing because i liked this piece, 1luv.
