In Cold Tones Invisible shades of color Not seen by the closed naked eye Colossal pull to drag under Oozing shadows of shades deny Lazy reminders of desire Distant embers of a fierce fire Tones of a cold conversation Open to interpretation Notes of jazz mixed in with the blues Essence of color in cold hues Sanguine singer stuck in the mire
