BEIGE


BEIGE

It's all beige
Nothing alive
Not a thing breathing...

I seek for signs
Of life hues...
None catch my eye
I'm reduced to tears...

It was alive.
Breath was teeming...
What might have 
Resulted in such
Tragic disappearing?

A whispered
Contempt
Unloving songs sung
A promise made
Never kept.

I question whether 
These might be 
Why the hues
Of life
Had left?

Beige, is all
I still see.
Even the colors
Of music do not
Appear differently...

Wake up my world
Wake up life
Beige is naught
What it was 
Made to be like.

Oh, my sight
When shall your 
Desire, you see...?

NAUGHT BUT A PUPPET


NAUGHT BUT A PUPPET

Color me azure
With your words...
They cut through 
My soul...

Oh, about this 
What  would you know?
Fo you, it is 
Something I deserve...

My heart is a 
Broken glass...
Fragments of it
Piece the core
Òf my empty soul.

My mind is a 
Grey canvas
Every memory taken
Away,, erased!

All that is
Left of me
Are limbs and the such...

Easily desposed of
If you will it...

I realize I am 
Naught but a
Puppet
Of your verbally 
Abusive strings...!
