"ORANGE"

"ORANGE"

Orange, the world cremates
Evening's play
For life's
Seasons,
The weakening eye of day
For tomorrow will die
In sunset's crypt,
The cloudy canopy of hazy
Complexion,
Every spirit on earth
Sweetly recognizing
The inevitable
Crash
Of yellow's decay, into
Orange,
Where the ripened rinds
Fulfill acquiescence
And the twisted sun dresses
That Goddesses
Drape across suntanned shoulders
Wearing every virtue
Which glows red
Not unlike seeds sprouting apples
Whose orchard
In their rows of planned sustenance
Ultimately provide
The diapason
Of perfect rainbows
In melodious
Colors melting
Into the harmoniousness
Of sunset's voice
And, where the heart of it
Bleeds,
Orange...

Hi  Tony Ah well this piece made me cry 
I so cant believe this coincidence or is it synchronicity
my mam passed Away Monday today the day, but the 14th
the date Wednesday her favorite color was orange with 
her home many shade of orange I just bought a basket of 
orange flowers to take to her grave
and the most profound thing is i have been playing around with 
piece of my own called orange 
your last lines  make me think of my mother perfectly
and with your permission I would like to write them on the card with 
 her flowers 

"The diapason
Of perfect rainbows
In melodious
Colors melting
Into the harmoniousness
Of sunset's voice
And, where the heart of it
Bleeds,
Orange.
..
A great write that I will never forget pinned
Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece 
Love n hugs Debs xo

What color is more profound than that of orange in a beautifully capture sunrise or sunset or at least for me definitely a more standout color. Always admire the way brother the way you make the smallest of nuances seem so sexy and provocative, as sundresses draped over goddesses shoulders. Awesome imagery throughout T. Love and peace.

My Dear Brother Poet Tony,

A beautiful "Clockwork Orange".  Our great gift to Cosmo, Tony Taylor, surpasses the gifted Stanley Kubrick with imagery not seen on a screen, but recorded in the chambers of our hearts and sequestered in our souls.  His words bring us to the tip of our Universe.  There we see "perfect rainbows".  There we hear the diapason of a bursting sunset, and witness the majesty of a "Clockwork Orange".

Peace, Love and Rockets,

Larry xxx

My Dear Brother Poet Tony,

A more stunning response that has also brought tears to my eyes.  You are the harbinger of the words that I write.  Your poetry takes me to far away places, where I lose myself in its beauty. Much love right back at you!!

Orange is a beautiful color, unless it becomes president.
