— Harley King
American Poet & Speaker
1949 -
Do you live in a black and white world? Does everything in your life have a place and time? Are you striving to be perfect? Then it is time that you add a splash of color to your world. Color brightens the heart and lightens the load. Dance on the rainbow of love. Sing songs of purple and violet and pink. Drink from the fountain of red and blue and green. Be the yellow smile on the faces of your friends.
Here is a recent poem.
Canvas
I paint
the face
of God
on the back
of my lover.
Can we find
our way home
or will
we wander
the streets
of heaven forever?
She laughs
at the sound
my heart makes
when it cries.
God paints
my face
with a silk brush.
I embrace
the darkness.
