Beige Has A Voice...

“Clothes make the man (or woman)* 

Naked people have little or no influence on society” 

                                                       - Mark Twain

Beige Has A Voice… 

I put a Trench Coat across my arm 

As Stendhal talks inside my mind 

Nature forgets her basic shade… 

But wait 

Beauty is not just in my head 

It is so tangible 

And so in my hand 

As I get married in beige ombré… 

This classic tread that runs through my veins 

To see the colours as Happiness gates 

That pleasant feeling 

So very different for each of us 

That voice of perception 

Wanting to be heard… 

Colours speak volume – Can you hear? 

They speak through ages 

In various shades 

They scream in khaki 

They whisper in oatmeal beige 

As I find my beauty in theirs…
