Tinge of Purple Rests Within My HeartTinge Of Purple Rests Within My Heart
Tinge of purple rests within my tired heart
Soft touches of a heavy old soul
Now pulling on my heavy empty cart
Often my world seems to be lumps of coal.
I heard thumps of acorns falling on down
That majestic oak sheds its...

A Tinge of LilacMy window opens wider
as my focus narrows down
The words are now much richer
than what I used to think profound
The light brings joy and substance
filling corners deep and closed
Its breezes tinged with lilac
—all negatives exposed

Just a Tingea splash of pink
in a deep blue sky
just tingeing the clouds
as they slowly drift by
sun slips behind the mountain...

The Tinge of JealousyI feel it to a small extent - a little tinge of it -
those times I hear about
friends going on vacations to fun exotic places;
friends of mine receiving special presents from their husbands;
women I have known for ages getting plastic surgeries,
losing weight, and looking now...

Blue Tinge of Moonlightblue tinge of moonlight,
reflected in your green eyes,
romantically teasing.
I wish to wallow
in its depths, soak up the love,
surrender to your wanting....
sparkling glints of light
portraying your inner glow,
bodies swaying together,
caressing desires.
quicker than lightening strikes...
moonlight pierces your heart strings.

That TingeWhen all the world is finally right,
when you look at all you have and for once you feel grateful,
when you smile and laugh and feel happy and you know it's not just a mask,
that's when you feel that tinge.
The little pain in your heart that...

A Tinge of DreadWhatever you anticipate
Contains a tinge of dread.
It’s better to acknowledge it
And hope it doesn’t spread.
If you prefer pretending,
Looking only at the good,
You’ll be shocked when you discover
How much you’ve misunderstood.
Though they talk of silver linings,
To an optimist’s delight,
We who recognize disasters
Know that’s only partly right.
For...

Cored by a Tinge of BlueRemember where you came from
And what you had to do
To achieve your present outcome
Before your life was through.
Your life has reached duality,
Rumor is now the known,
And your stereotyped personality
Has assumed a life of its own.
Now that you are famous,
Your private life is through,
Your flame of...

Tinge of TwilightChiffon sky splashes the sunburst glow of grandeur
On the verdant valley veering around the jade hills
Fawn foliage rustles on the gentle slope with a sigh
Drawn by the wind dry leaves glide down the rills.
For long I've walked on the contour of crystal stream
Shore of the...

The Melancholy of SaltI could tell you who I am,
But I'm petrified of opening up.
Why am I terrified of pouring like a river?
I wonder what mountains gave me such shame.
But you'll forever live,
Within the cracks of some beating heart,
I wonder,
If the first stab of heartbreak,
Was the same shades...
