From the back cover:
The Colors of Poetry is about the different ways someone can transmit words and the different styles of making your point. It is impossible to understand someone if you don't know where they've been or coming from. I find it hard to believe how many don't understand that it takes knowledge of the other person to see what they mean, even in everyday speech. Many of these poems use that simple concept as a theme. I hope people learn as well as enjoy all the poems in this book.

I know time is gone
I accepted that through my life
And I know
I must move on.
But when my soul says otherwise,
What is the remainder
When life is divided
By a memory of love?
The quotient sits in front of me
The divisors long gone
With the past
On the paper in front of me
From all the letters used,
Only a single number remains.

You Were Here
With Me
"I wish you were here with me."
and the bare walls need something to hug,
echoing my own words:
I wish you were here with me.
a long lost love I long for,
who never gave me the time I needed
to show you how strongly I feel.
And there what did I see
My daughter, tears her eyes did yield
And all because of me
Committing to her chaste
And so my temper fumed so hot
Of what I thought was past
And took my breath away
A mighty, tender horse so true
That led my thoughts astray
That made it seem so pure
And with its gait it strode so long
And with it came my cure
And let her sing its song
And so I knew that fateful night
I feared about was wrong
I know now 'twas a lie
For she had never been so far
And did not want to try
I am the Cube
The six sides that guide my life
The direction of my life
Determined when I tumble.
I am the Cube
The six sides that guide my life:
Help, Disdain, Love,
Fear, Logic, Satire
I am the Cube
Three sides I hope to hide:
Fear, Disdain, Satire,
They but dig my grave.
A am the Cube
My goodness three sides which prove:
Help, Logic, Love,
They pull me from the hole.
I am the Die
And where will I land next?
