Stream.

if my world were black and white
your eyes would still be blue
because when i think of colour
its all based on you
two shades darker than your hair
the opposite of your skin
and the world is defined in terms of you

one day this frozen city
will thaw
and you can be king
and I'll ring the bells
the people will wander onto the streets
and wonder what this means
and why the stars are blazing so
and you
and i
will know

no no
talking gibberish
dreams on my fingertips
leave my clumsy
can't type straight
can't think
wait
come back

its all a mess
this message in a bottle
i'm going to set afloat
send out on this cement sea
spinning through the traffic
looking for a environmentalist
to pick me up
turn me out
into something new
recycle. renew.
i thought. you knew.

i thought i told you...
one day when the sky was blue
i thought i whispered
thought i screamed
though i threw those words
against the telephoto screen

i thought you knew...
i love you.

i liked the bit about the environmentalist. though it should probably be an "an" instead of an "a".

the first stanza was really good.

loved that this one has more of a rhyme to it.
especially loved the use of color in the first stanza. very well done :)
