White silence peaceful and calm,
where cotton clouds float,
on the running river of time a psalm
sculpts meaning without a note
Red silence paints birthing skies
regurgitating a morning sun
spilling blood as it dies
when day is done
Age's yellowing fear
drools phlegm on a quiet cloth
bleeding stain of a tear
drips through holes made by a moth
Blue is the music of silence
as it falls in freezing rain
tearing each heart with violence
from solitary pain
Silence now black
fills fetid sewers of time
putting hope with a dog and monkey in a sack
thrown into the river Thyme

I can't like that one. Should I pray for a speedy recovery?
With all the basic colors you can make any color you want. Although they can be ugly they can be beautiful as well. I hope you feel better soon.
one to favour soren.
and my favourite colour you write of,
is Blue.
most impressed.
Thanks so much for your most kind review and comment it is most appreciated. Colors wave lengths reflective or absorbing they become favorite or not just as everything else.
Good write SB.
Not only do you suggest meals for KP, but also places for her holidays - fetid sewers! How come you know what she likes? lol.
Thanks Orchi appreciate the comment tell KP I'll be cooking up some more
We use silence in many different ways, and you have expressed so cleverly and beautifully the various forms, each with its equivalent emotional color. Great Write!
Dear Bella than you so much for the read and most kind comment I appreciate it very much. I keep watching for your next entry.
Some, as you suggest hardly make a sound while others scream and roar .. My old sensei (now long gone) had a colour for everything and everyone .. He saw me in terms of purple and white .. Neville
Thanks Neville you are right and as for your colors a good choice Purple being wisdom, creativity, royalty, power, ambition while white of course purity, cleanliness, and innocence. Good choice.
Blimey ........................ 🤍💜
Powerful and vivid.
Thanks so much Thomas appreciate it
And I do now to thee, one of my most favourite poets who also values the colour blue, I see nothing but acceptance and peace in this. We all have our own choices in life and it's really literally because religion or sexual preferences or colours are all blinded by love as long as we are happy. And I bow to you darling friend. Kudos. 🌹
Thanks friend for such a gracious review and such kind words. Each color is only a part of a greater spectrum and prejudice toward any is only a prejudice against all.
Fantastic poem,
love it!
Eloquently penned my friend! 👍
Great rhyme scheme,
flow and blend!!
Best regards ✌️ Thad
Being colorblind forces me to pay attention to descriptions of colors; this does that very well. Thanks.
Thank you for your most kind words. They are appreciated and most welcome
That colour fills our life soren and will always do so.
Andy
Thanks Andy for the read and yes each day has its own colors
“Sculpts meaning without a note” a powerful line And u love the dog and monkey in a sack though I’m still trying to unwrap it and that helps make this poem great !
As any old Roman would tell you, it is hard to unwrap from inside the sack.
Thanks so much Bobby for the read and most kind words they are valued.
The whole of nature, describing primary colors…very inventive….
Thank you so much for the review and most kind words Parisab they are most appreciated.
