Shades of Magenta
I'm an Aquarius aquarium
This feeling never floats away
Happiness lives inside me
Every single day
It feels like schools of fish
Are swimming in my veins
Swells of tranquility
Become vibrant reality
Can you feel them flow
Do you even know
I've never felt like this before
I see my love light up your face
You turn me
Shades of Magenta
Whenever I'm with ya
You turn me
Shades of Magenta
Because I love ya
When my heart beats it sends
Pulses of possibilities instead
It feels like schools of fish
Surging towards my head
You caused a system
Of hydroponic color
A method of love between
Myself and my lover
My DNA coils and twists
Lost codes the shape of a ladder
You busted through
Generic colors that didn't matter
It feels like schools of fish
Swimming around my ribs
Tickling me with their fins
Whenever I'm with ya
Do you even know
Can you see me glow
I can't ignore it anymore
I see my love light up your face
You turn me
Shades of Magenta
Because I love ya
You turn me
Shades of Magenta
Because I'm going to marry ya
This feeling never floats away
Happiness lives inside me
Every single day
It feels like schools of fish
Are swimming in my veins
Swells of tranquility
Become vibrant reality
Can you feel them flow
Do you even know
I've never felt like this before
I see my love light up your face
You turn me
Shades of Magenta
Whenever I'm with ya
You turn me
Shades of Magenta
Because I love ya
When my heart beats it sends
Pulses of possibilities instead
It feels like schools of fish
Surging towards my head
You caused a system
Of hydroponic color
A method of love between
Myself and my lover
My DNA coils and twists
Lost codes the shape of a ladder

Shades of Magenta

Shades of Magenta

Hi everyone! It's been a busy new year.
Lots of great things happening. I'm fixing to drop off a few digital art pieces to
the local art guild for a contest. Wish me luck.
I missed writing so I squeezed this out.

Hi Willow,
Thank you!! I haven't been to an aquarium in a long time.
The ones you go see downtown at the zoo.
I love how small schools of fish look
and how their scales are so shiny with cool vibrant colors.
Thanks for stopping by for a read!

I started this a couple of weeks ago.
I needed to finish it. Maybe change it up or edit it later.
In my mind, I saw a person's silhouette (ok it's me LOL)
the color of Magenta with schools of small fish swimming in around. LOL

Thank you. It just came to me. How when we feel that rush sometimes it feels like a school of fish. I had to write it down and grow on that line. I'm so happy it was worth the work:)
Thanks for the RL too!!

Happiness is definitely contagious. Plus, it just feels good.
And I love aquariums how they can be surreal and calming and schools of fish are so bright and colorful. I wanted to incorporate it into this write.
And thanks for the happy birthday!! It was in January!!

No, I haven't posted any art here.
I'm saving all of that for the book I'm working on.
It's a work in progress. I'm doing art to match the poems I've
written. Lots of cool imagery amigo:)
I'm a huge fan of Procreate!!
It's been a huge help with digital art.

Hello Moregeous!
Tell me about this guy you're gonna marry! What!
And I you know I already love this poem of yours. It makes me feel all squishy! So clever
throughout, and I really like the ladder/DNA. I'm glad that you found some time to finish it, and post it. Your new art career is taking up much of your creative time, I know.
But we gotta feed the DUP. It was our first steps together!

And don't think you are off the hook about the aquarium.
You are taking me sooner or later!!
I know, I needed to post something. I don't want to forget how to write! Yikes!!
Love you babe.
And I'm fixing to give you a call so don't go

Your metaphor of the fish and your passion for your lover took me in completely. I could feel what you described with that incredibly vivid imagery that took me deep into the heart of our poetic serenade. Truly a masterpiece of deeply felt passion. There is magic here that touched my heart. Thank you for sharing the jubilation of love expressed with colors and emotions that sang to me as I read.

Hi John,
Your comments always give me a huge smile so thank you for that.
It came to me a couple of weeks ago and I jotted a few things down and rushed home to see what I could make from it.
I might add or change a line but the overall
effect of happiness and love came out just perfectly.
thanks for your snaps on this amigo.
It is appreciated:)

Hello Adelphina,
Not sure if I've read any of your posts before but I decided to read your most recent poem. I can see why so many here love your work. You have a sincere, delicate way you write. The words flow effortlessly. The description and beauty is top notch. Beautiful work.

Hey Cipher:)
I’m so happy you stopped by for a comment.
I’m in a very happy place in my life at the moment. Sometimes I feel
that rush of excitement. Like a quickening in my blood and I thought about schools of fish.
How they surge and flow reflecting such beautiful colors.
My mind went and I came up with this!,
As far as one of a kind, right back at ya amigo:)
It has been a pleasure reading your work and being inspired so thank you!,
Sincerely,
Del
