my colors by: eddy styx

Emotions In Colors

yellow:
color of the bright moon
casting shadows
where I hide my intentions.

grey:
still too much light
for my tastes, just not right,
much time spent in waiting.

silver:
laughter turned to a scream,
no way out from this
she wishes it all a dream.

red:
are her dress and hair
her fate is evident
in her unholy despair

black:
like a new moon I rise,
to hunt and kill
as she slowly dies!

Style / type: 
Free verse
Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Review Request (Direction):

How does this theme appeal to you?

thanks Gee!

your language use equally so. Shivers to these lines: "Silver, laughter turned to a scream"

. " in shadows in which hide I intentions."
[Actually, I would change this line to: where I hide my intentions].
Ahhhh, good old eddy; up to his tricks I see. Nice job! ~ Geez.

Sis,

I couldn't wait to get my teeth into an Eddy piece.

I am sitting here satisfied in the delicious sinister approach this poem takes.

Your words put us in the shoes of Eddy, we feel, smell, taste, hear & see how he does...it is not a pleasant feeling but somehow I feel at home there.

regards

One

"with all that I am & all that I could be, I walk this earth, yet nobody sees me"

that is because you have such great versatility and in abundance! you have extraordinary imagination to slip you into any situation and run with it!!!

ever, eddy

I like the changes you made, but I think that the last line of the first stanza,
needs to have the full word [hidden] written out. Since that part of the poem is not in rhyme,
it doesn't change the meaning or the meter and it sounds better. Hugs, Geez.
