Splash of Colors


Emotions are hard to hide
Even harder to decipher
If only I could express myself in colors
I would be free of all the revulsion piled on me

My anger would be flaming orange..
Burning with vitality that washes away quickly..
For me peace and green go together..
Like the soft bristled meadow
Inviting to rest in peace..

My sorrow would be Grey
Resembling the stormy sky
Waiting to pour down and clear off
Yellow suits my passion
Bright with vigor of love and desire

Blue would symbolize my evil side
Like the miraculously calm deep sea 
hidden with inconceivable peril


Then I would be one black shadow
Filled with all the colors in the world
and yet again become
Hard to hide and
Even harder to decipher

    "Then I would be one black shadow

    interesting choice of colours: passion - yellow and not read; evil - blue instead of black...

  17. Positively adored the coherence of ideas and the structure...
    Not many would have picked blue, as their evil color - sets it kinda apart.
    Would have loved to see more colors and your associated emotions !!
