When I feel, it is in colours
when I think, it is of lovers
when I listen, I hear the sea
when I look, all I see is me

Intrigued!

I think you need a comma in the first line, after 'think'? 
 
i.e. 'When I think, it is in colours . . .  
 
Then it makes sense with your line 2: 
 
'and when I think, it is of lovers.' 
 
The slant rhyme of 'colours / lovers' is excellent, IMHO BtW. 
 
The second two lines? Not so sure . . .  
 
You need a comma to be consistent with lines 1 and 2: 
 
'when I listen, I hear the sea' 
 
The final line? 
 
Hmmm! I find the change of rhythm a bit awkward. 
 
Maybe lose the two 'and's and the word 'all' 
 
Dunno - just thoughts! Like your idea. 
 
Cheers!

John on spending time on this, much appreciated. I'll tighten the rhythm, i like your suggestion. Apologies for my sloppy grammar! 
 
cheers

Not sure about this one geoff, I think it is a little bit too simplified. You don't really give me anything to relate to so it doesn't hold me. I want to be intrigued, but there isn't a hook to pull me into your idea. 
 
Sorry

Thanks

Hi Geoff, That's just my own personal opinion, if we all liked the same thing the world would be an awfully bland place. :)
