Love. Hate. Indifference.
What image appears to our mind’s eye when color is the consequence?
White.
Flat.
Motionless.
Without sound.
Void.
Lifeless, upon the frozen ground.
Blue. Red. Yellow.
Peace. War. The sickness in-between.
For you and me – what do these colors mean?
They aren’t the same you know.
While my inner-vision sees a rainbow,
it is the cool hues of green and blue that breathes my life anew.
Blue.
Water.
Sky.
Soul.
Dreams coming true.
Green.
Grass.
Moss.
Trees.
Dancing fairies in the morning dew.
Red. That hateful color.
Wicked stench of lust.
Violence. Blood.
The taste of rust.
And, yellow?
Sunshine? Happy?
Infected sores?
Mustard stains.
The rancid smell of whores.
Purple has no rhyme or reason.
Means nothing to me or the changing season.
Purple has no finite place in the color-scheme;
occupies no time or space in this psychedelic theme.
Could be the sweetness of blue-red.
Could be red-blue -
Vile.
Putrid.
But, orange.
Crazy.
Delusional.
Devoid of feeling.
Topsy-turvy. Insane. My head is reeling!
Nothing I can imagine is more despised
than when the color orange appears before my eyes!
Fade to black.
Paint it all black!
Wipe it out of my mind.
Give me nothingness where I can find…
the grey…
where it’s safe, once again, to come out and play.
