Playing with Colors
October 31, 2012
She wore red and in her subtle arrogance
Turned green
To love and to trust have no relation
And the serpent spins a song of
Sodomy or
Salvation
For those who trust in love
For red and green are brown and
Brown is black when the earth takes hold
Ambiguous answers
From Red and Green
Leave children playing games with
Ambiguous Rules
And arms meet arms and lips meet lips
And the mind betrays the body at the fault of the
Eyes leaving the heart in a resentful
Discombobulation of red and green
That feels a shade of purple
And the echo of silence hangs colorless
