Color inspires me to both write and paint
lately i've been dreaming of words being
infused with colors,such as the word sun
is yellow-word sky is blue-word grass green
wondering as i see them flowing before me
what came first the object,  color or word

I guess i can do a study of the origin of words
colors and when they were applied ,in the
meantime, crimson is the color of blood,but
 also the heart, apple, among other things,and
how colors come to mind when we hear a word
such as anger-red dreary-gray-night black-
flames red orange yellow,same with passion

thus the poem...

Diamond feelings hard and cold
warmed by those wrapped in gold
onyx eyes pierce through the fold
of the pearl stemmed seeking soul
lips of agate dares refute the story
ruby heart of love assures the glory
opal hands showing things uncouth
Silver tongue speaks only the truth
cross of chalcedony holds the cost
gems that believe won't be lost !
