Red

Red...
is the pain that Blue leaves behind,
is the fire of anger that blasts through,
is a smell of ammonia and smoke,
is a bitter; tart taste,
is an all-consuming color,
are the wounds on and within a body,
is something that leeches away strength,
will fade but never leave hiding parts of itself
     in unsuspecting places,
is a percentage of me.

Blue

Blue...
is knowing hopes fall through the cracks,
is desolation of a cracked family,
is a soothing smell with a sour edge,
is a numbing thickening of the tongue,
is a moment lost while there was still hope in the mind,
is a body feeling too heavy to move,
is cousin to Purple,
is me waking up.

Rainbow Body

     The swirling of colors,

shows voalitilty within.

Bruising purple for

aching deep in the redirected red rose heart that beats

for life and experience.

Solem blue, depth

of an abyss always searching

for the opposing eggy yellow for sustence physically

and emotionally.

      The total absence of light

a deeper black that is

hidden within all sentients.

Balanced in most with the glimmering pure white

reflecting all colors away

from this sacred space.

Orange pink swirls around

dances, spins, twirls creating for themselves

a link to what some would call mischeviously insane

actions.

      In-between this absence and

reflection lives the solid,

foggy grey. It is the ego,

the balance, dependable

justice. Whispering judgement

called up through the

tender stomach to the

stendrils of the low brain

of all colors and parts the

unconcious calculated effect

that causes.

     

     Rusty brown sicknesses

force a living body into

a state of electrochemical

suspension, then tiny warriors

take on the attack pushing

away the brown invasion.
