Color Song

Orange green pink and blue
Purple is a color too
Brown gray black and white

Are simply parts or the whole of light.
The whole greater than the sum
Beige taupe wine and rum
Golden cognac tawny strains
Red and yellow will blow your brains
Cream and roses milk and ice
Chocolate mocha cheese delights
Violet lilac indigo lime
Icy blue satin lined
Velvet Moss and bottle green
Certain types are best unseen
Robust rust and grimy dust
Or glistening motes of pearly lust
Arcs electric passionate shades
Russet browns and garnet red
Blood of Universe in Ruby sparks
Tuesday's grace in topaz lurks
Deep ominous passive jet
Haunts my heart with darkest death
Jade revives a fairy glade
A Glen so green emeralds inlaid
And thus and so
And on it goes
Colors seep into eyes
That life beholds...
