The Beholder

A Limitless Account for a Life in Color

By Julie FischerPublished 5 years ago 1 min read
The Color of the Earth

Green is the color of my right eye

luscious joy

taking in the world

Healing my soul

binding my heart to my hand

Gold is the center of my earth

just glitter

I make it mine

let it shine

I see it in every space where

Seeking peace

distributing pain

in marshall roundabouts

seeking a canvas, reeling from absurdity

Can I see pigment free?

make it mine

to dye or die

Bully and Torment

Gold is the color of my left eye

I dive in to see my life there

Blended with salt and shame

The beginning would color my lenses

curse my senses

and Blanket my soul

drive my hope

harbour my expressions & deeds

dye that poisons

my world

Brings to light my charity

oh, relax my pain

What color can that possibly destroy

surreal poetry
