Summary: Nothing like a bit of vitriol.




Yellow is the colour
Of the man
Who walked.

Blue is the colour
Of the air
I breathe.

White is the colour
Of the icicles
That choke.

Green is the colour
Of my hope,
A hope
That never dies.

Red is the colour
Of my blood
Seeping from
My bleeding heart.

Colourless
The sea of words
That lied.
