the color blue cried on my shoulder so I kissed her lips and gave myself to her
the last boy that broke my heart
told me I'm
deceptive ocean waves
I flood all of your senses
and peel back your armor
digging my ripples into
your skin until I've invaded
every crevice of your being
tossing you within an
indigo abyss of my lies
the last time I spoke to God
my lips fluttered over the
thought of his existence
fingertips faltering as I grazed
along my mile long scars
traces of blocked memories
pushed into the
corners of my mind
when I said goodbye to Him
cerulean ink bled from my eyes
and the gashes on my wrists
the last time I sliced open my torso
I plucked back my skin
and pushed aside all of my
muscles, glands, and nerve endings
dragging my heart out
tearing off bits and pieces
and placing parts of myself
in loved ones until
I was left with blue veins
and a hollow chest
Orange
The color orange.
I'd want to be happier.
As a warm color orange is a stimulant — stimulating the emotions and even the appetite. Orange can be found in nature in the changing leaves of fall, the setting sun, and the skin and meat of citrus fruit.
Orange is vibrant. It's a combination of hot red and sunshine yellow so it shares some common attributes with those colors. It denotes energy, warmth, and the sun. But orange has a bit less intensity or aggression than red, calmed by the cheerfulness of yellow.
red.
i am the liquid pumping through your veins
the pastel warmth on your cheeks
the rose in your garden that smells of dirt but the sweet, organic kind
the smeared lipstick on your pillow from last night
the letter slipped under your door sealed with wax
the tiny cross on the nurse's hat as she covers your mouth with air
the second's hand on a clock seeming to tick the slowest
the leaves drifting in the autumn wind
the stone on your finger
the warning labels you ignore
the summer berries
i am blood. vitality. sex. passion.
