Poetry by Lemmon

Well I haven't sent any in awhile so I'm sending a series here. I like to call the group..."colors of emotions" They were all written at different times for different reasons so here they are....

RED

You make me RED
I can feel it in my face
My anger is rising
Puts me in a crazy place

You make me RED
The color that means stop
I need to get away from you
Before I blow my top

You make me RED
I'm in the caution zone
Now get out of my way
So I can just go home

You make me RED
Like the fiery sun that sets
Putting an end to this day
And all of you illiterates

Lemmon A.R.R. 2006

Today

Today i am ugly
today i am mean
today my blood is
flowing green

today i am bitter
today i am cold
i have an attitude
that's out of control

today i might spit
today i might kick
stay out of arms reach
i might even hit

just let me simmer here
set me on low
when the pot lid starts dancin
get away from the stove

I look at the calendar
there's an easy excuse
i could blame it all on
hormones running loose

but there's only one friend
really knows and understands
and when they reach out to me
I bite their hand.

Navy Blue

It is a navy blue day
outside, the sky is gray
inside, no one to play
just a love slipping away

My heart refuses now to breathe
It's turning blue, wants me to see
to be alone is my one need
so i can sit and feel it bleed

bleed you out, all navy blue
all the things i refused to view
love is blind, it's really true
and hindsights hue is navy blue

the whole thing now seems so surreal
it's left me hard as cold blue steel
time to coagulate and heal
navy blue is the way i feel
