Paint Her in Dark Colors: Poems

By Wiss Auguste

Pain Her in Dark Colors is an honest, poignant, and raw collection of poems that pulls on our heartstrings while celebrating women-their beauty, strength, resilience, and softness.

On The Subject of Her

I still have much to learn from the softness
of life
and on the subject of Her
I reckon I am but a novice-
All the stories that have dripped from her tears
carry the common themes of
boundaries
and safe words- and I have learned them all

I run amuck through the wilderness
written in the brown of her eyes
just to catch glimpses of her,
only the glimpses she would allow me
to have-and I have kept them all

Still, on the subject of Her
I remain a novice-
I dare steal modicums of intrigue
from her many mysteries
and I read her riddles in an eternal loop,
not to seek their meaning but to bask in their
beauty.
