Walking though the void of black night as colors start bursting around me.
brilliant greens and blazing reds consume the sky in beautiful display
filling the void with light.
Popping one by one,
Blues, purples, oranges and pinks;
blinding flashes to fill the heart with awe and wonder.

I watch as each color explodes like paint splattering on canvas,
wishing i could be taken by wonder;
but i feel nothing.
My heart feels as if i were still walking through black night,
and the brightest bursts of color have no effect
Because all i see is grey. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 77 [topic] => 73 [informant] => nightwolf [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => abstract )

Pain or depression makes everything grey. Been there ;) This was too good to be Abstract as it was well studied. Abstract to me is like you throwing that paint at a wall. It is what it is, with no intent to be anything other than what it is. Nice poem albeit sad.

wonderful.
I cannot help but feel it
like opening the refrigerator in
the night, the cake is all gone
but still some crumbs reside,
and I leave them be, they are safe
where the cat and the mice and the
ants cannot get at them.
I open the door and there is light,
I close the door, knowing it is then dark,
as my dog sits looking at me.
Her eyes tell me she thinks there is a lesson
here to be learned.
I open the fridge, the light comes on,
The cold keeps things freshly preserved.
She stays at my feet, looking in, and looking
back at her I just say nothing.
I close the door and she follows close behind.
I lay on the couch, she sits besides me her
face nuzzling against mine.
I feel a strange sadness. Her ears perk up,
I pet her and tell her she is almost human
And she knows all about the cake that was
and all about the left over food that stays
chilled waiting to be eaten some day.
The light comes on when you open the door.
like abstractness had some say, or held
within it some fancy design.

Peace!
