Colours

The scarlet seduction of a rose in full bloom
The fighting fury of the tangerine fire
The effervescent warmth of the yellow sun
Come together to dispel the despairing gloom.

The enticing enigma of the earthly browns
The terribly transient turquoise of the deep seas
The welcoming abodes of the lush greens
Glistening like jewels on royal crowns.

The precarious pink in a momentary blush
The ambrosial aura of purple dreams
The growling greys of monsoon clouds
Give nothing short of an adrenalin rush.

The serene white of an unpainted canvas
The dark domains of clear black nights
Each distinct, with a unique taste and smell
Intrinsic to life, each has a story to tell.
