Ah… the heart.
A fascinating subject for some.
For others, it's a thing to be toyed with;
Something to be thrown around like a rag doll torn and maimed somehow.
It can sometimes be inspired.
It can sometimes be blue
And sometimes it can be deeply pierced by a word or two
That cuts like a knife to the innermost chord;
Life balancing on a double edged sword.
There is a rainbow of color to describe the heart.
Each a facet, representing a specific part...
Some hearts are red.
They don't love at all.
'Cause they're filled with anger and rage;
A hate for one and all.
Some hearts are orange.
They do not love just one or even a few.
No. They love many;
On fire all the time for someone new.
Some hearts are yellow.
Cowering in a corner, letting no one in;
Afraid of taking a chance.
Taking a cowards way out in the end.
Some hearts are green.
Filled with jealousy and greed, not a pretty sight.
Had love in the palm of their hands
But somehow screwed it up late one night.
Some hearts are blue.
Depressed by life and all they have been through
And the fact that they may never find love again.
At least not anytime soon.
Some hearts are purple.
They are strangled by life.
Deprived of what makes them feel alive
In their uneasy strife.
Some hearts are gray.
Damaged beyond repair.
Hearts that are slowly dying,
'Cause they loved a few and got stung too hard to care.
Some hearts are black.
Stained by sin, these hearts let no one in.
'Cause they're already dead…
Killed by the pain of the sin that is still attached within.
Some hearts are white.
These hearts are clean and pure.
Very few can be found in this state
That is for sure.
Some hearts are of pure gold.
These hearts are willing to help others in times of need.
No matter what the cost is,
If necessary, these hearts are willing to bleed.
Some hearts are just multi- colored.
They are filled with all that life has to offer.
All the facets of life rolled together…
Sometimes making life a bit harder.
All these hearts mark the journeys they are on…
With a rainbow of colors...
THE COLORS OF THE HEART!
Author notes
I'm not entirely sure of when this was written... some time in the fall of 2003, I believe. Just got to thinking about life and love and the colors of the heart and this is the result.
I'm taking a chance with this, hoping this is what you are wanting. It is the one poem I thought of when I read your contest. It all colors. not just one. Hope you like it. If not, DQ. Thank you.

I like how you express the colours of the heart and what they represent. I used to have a black heart, unfeeling... then a blazing orange and then a red, so deep and pure in love... but who knows what it is these days? Yellow maybe, as I will not let people in as I'm afraid... Blue, as I know that nobody will love me or purple, strangled by the world.

Thanks, babe, for all your hard work in reading all these poems. There will probably be some of the more personal ones put in the book. Simply because, I hink they have a story to tella s well even though they maybe of a personal nature. Thanks again. Love and hugs...

Hi DOnna.This is another really great poem. I really like this one as well. You can definately find quite a few of those colors within my heart lol. I agree with pinkcottoncandy15, I think you should put just about all of your poems in the book lol. There aren;t that many that I haven't added for one reason or another...mainly due to thinking it may be too personal. Anyways this is a really great poem. Take care an keep up the great work!

Believe me you, I seriously thought about that, but there are some that to me aren't worth it. This one I think may be worth it lol. thanks again. Love and hugs...

This work is pretty deep, all about those different colors and the way a person interprets them. I liked how you were able to tell which color meant of each heart, and in the end how sometimes hearts can be mixed, multi-colored. After all, we go through experiences of different levels. I liked it a lot, must have took some thought to do this piece of work. Keep it up!

Splendid
Hey this is fine writing and you surely captured the colors of the heart. A most splendid write that I think I have read in awhile. -
Excellent

I like this very much and i agree with it very much. multi-colored hearts are very hard to make it through the day with and i know this for a fact as do many others. you really did a good job of expressing here. colors of the heart. Very good. keep up the good work. you're very talented.
