Forbidden Colors

Please listen to this music as you read the poem








FORBIDDEN C O L O R S







Forbidden Colors.....clouding sight, judgment, senses...Blood.






They slide across the throat tenderly, the line between caress and suffocation lost in haze.

Shrouded in mystery, intrigue and wonder, daring to take that step inside.

Hidden, watching, yearning to burst free, yet secreted away like a voyeur.

Forbidden Colors dance, they cannot help but do so; they must be as they are.

Writhing in Ecstasy, eyes closed in order to truly see.

The Forbidden, it calls, overwhelms with immense hunger; pink tingeing on red.

Forbidden, but unstoppable. Colors will flow, they will overflow, a cascading rainbow, a Tyranny of the Urgent. 

Music to dazzle, Desire to blind, Color that strengthens, Devotion to bind.
