colors

i looked upon the orange sky

with purple seagulls passing by

the ocean pink was in my view

the dress you wore a violet hue

the sidewalk stained with saffron sweets

the snow white sun was in defeat

an azure tree was next to me

planted in years of rainbow tea

bikinis fleeing jasper dusk

the wind smelled like crayola musk

magenta haze in this malaise

the blue sand blurred by marmalade

a silver lawn forgot the dawn

as yellow put the night back on

the gray was grinding out remiss

so jealous of your neon kiss

all colors pale like onyx veils

when your green eyes i can inhale
