Someone somewhere

In a darkened room
In a bright blue gloom
Someone somewhere
Is weeping.

In a bold red place
In an arrogant face
Someone somewhere
is laughing.

In a cold bleak home
Where only shadows roam
Someone somewhere
Is praying.

In an orange mess
Of sweet success
Someone somewhere
Is celebrating.

In a crackling fire
Of wasted desire
Someone somewhere
Is burning.

In a glow of hope
With baby soap
Someone somewhere
Is crooning.

In a stash of dirt
Penniless and hurt
Someone somewhere
Is begging.

With a stroke of luck
Making a buck
Someone somewhere
Is jumping.

With a cracked lip
No water to sip
Someone somewhere
Is sinking.

With a ripe rich roast
And joys to toast
Someone somewhere
Is grinning.

With a black broken heart
Ripped slowly apart
Someone somewhere
Is dying.

In the clear sunlight
and all through the night
Someone somewhere
Is living

Believing

Smiling

Making love

Making believe?

Aparna: I like experimenting, though I think some poeple may think its a bit much!

Aradhita: write poetry then

CJ: bold? I thought it was cold :->

SS: 'bright' as in positive? Will develop on the theme at some point when I have more patience

P: yes,(see above) suggestions welcome

Death: stop wallowing

The way you make things rhyme with a few words and a million implications...amazing!!! Usually, I like a few lines from any poem, but you always manage to make the whole thing worth remembering.
