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
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
Colors and moods have close association.You have brought it out admirably well in your poem.

ReplyDelete"Then I would be one black shadow

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