Midnight Blueprints

She used to study interior design.
Colors and textures, emerged,
meandered and motivated her eye.

Polished marble fireplaces
calculated wall spaces, angled
to seat those needing relief
from the chills of life.

Ebony bath styles, trimmed
in gold, invited aquatic delight,
their shine attracting without
mosaic imagery slaughtering
imaginable possibilities.

Lines, contours and gradations
were the creative source.
Points of departure and arrivals,
followed with intent to capture,
color, calm and delight dwellers
and visitors, human psyche’s
and emotional tides.

Inanimate they think,
yet move they did into internal
environmental halls, performing
their scenes with color schemes.
What red said and crimson mentioned
made orange reach for dimensional
recoveries, while olive discovered
relational patterns and indigo
shadowed matter.

The mind was couched and floored,
awed and absorbed in crafted metaphors.
