- All Title Suggestions are Welcome...

-I’m looking for silver linings and rainbows and lights at the end of tunnels.
I’m looking for cartoon colors in a gray scale world and it’s tiring.

I’m looking at you and rolling my eyes.
Actions shouting things your mouth won’t bear to say.
Truth is heavy.

Your honeysuckle lips dripping poison in my ears
- a contagious disease.
Who spat honey on you, that you would pass it to me?
Hoping that it takes root,
begins the process of the wasting.

As constant as the full moon,
withered hearts are in bloom

Sticky
lies like honey cutting off its air.

And so a he will con a she – because one sista made it be.
A him will be caught in the she-spiders’ web.
A her will cry and wish for death.

Silver lined rainbows in Technicolor.

Cold dank puddles of varying shades – gray.

On the path to one, the other gets in the way.

Unbiased said…
I would call it 'CODED DESOLATION'.
A bit harsh but then life is harsh. Never forget though that glimmer of hope that someone worth 'IT' will go against the norm and turn out to be your Mr Wonderful.
ablackjamesbond said…
Why Ships and Colors... well i guess because i think the poem had something to do with relationSHIPS and cos u mentioned colors a bit too...lol

I can't say I have a title for you but I am concerned about these words though: "-I’m looking for silver linings and rainbows and lights at the end of tunnels.
I’m looking for cartoon colors in a gray scale world and it’s tiring.
". I understand much of what you're saying 'cos I've been through it before. I came across this quote while reading a book many years back. I never forgot it. I think you should internalize it... "The last of the human freedoms is to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances." - Victor Frankl. If you're trying too hard, walk away (with your chin up and don't let 'em see you sweat.). Forgive me if I'm grassing. I'm not very good with the pele pele thing.lol. My dad's fine by the way, thank's for asking.
doug said…

Manda said…

doug: Did you mean Victor Franklin? - or is it Frankl? Either way, I have a new quote...yay! I try to remember something along the lines of: 'Its our choices that show who we are, far more than our abilities'

manda: Thank you. Just as long as I'm cited, its all good.

princesa: My mind is like that at times, girl. But thanks. And I guess so...:)

classybabe: Danke. How'd you interpret that part?

I loved this lil lady, it had so many gems embedded, very descriptive too!

Loved this:

I’m looking for silver linings and rainbows and lights at the end of tunnels.
I’m looking for cartoon colors in a gray scale world and it’s tiring.

suggested title - Relation-shifts
doug said…
Its Victor(or Viktor) Frankl not Franklin. Here's the full quote - "We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances - to choose one's own way." I like yours. I'll remember it. You sound better now though.lol.
