Once upon a color

Once upon a color

A Poem by SleeplessVolcano


I took a pink pencil

from your desk

but I struggled

 

I found another

quite like the

December blue of your eyes

but my words dried up too

 

then foliage green

spoke to me

like a remote Amazonian fern

yet to be discovered

 

and suddenly I saw

green shoots mingling

 

with the vine-leaf red

of your lips

and I knew

I’d make them smile one day
