COLORBLIND
Almost bright enough bloom
Perhaps something special
Vibrant hues kaleidoscope petals
Ripe for the picking
Almost in sight of the pigments
Close enough to touch
But there's no cones in these eyes
Mocha tinged porcelain skin
Bronzed by the sun
Wish we could live the moment again
Time slows for no one.
Embraced to bask in the moonlight
Stomach fluttered away
Light-years away.
Face to face as time flies away
Muttering sweet words
Syllables from the soul
Falling on deaf ears
So focused on next years
