on the nature of colors
  Red:
  she is vibrant she is alive
  twirling with outstretched arms
  and forced laughter,
  trailing a cigarette from curled lips
  the hue of poppy petals,
  hurling anger and passion and heartbreak;
  a whirlwind tinted crimson; and
  she is not one to miss a sunrise,
  to see the horizon set itself on fire
  licks of heat caressing her face
  Blue:
  irises filled with puddled moonbeams
  his universal consciousness complete
  with galaxies and supernova and little infinities
  every face an ocean
  a possibility for life or crushing nothingness
  pure curiosity flowing through
  a charcoal pencil, and a mind too easy
  to get lost in
  Green:
  she contains endless energy
  leaps and bounds and nauseating movements
  life streaming from every pore
  infectious, viral to those lacking;
  electric shaded venom,
  radioactive emotions paint her mind
  turning hope to envy to jealousy
  she is often called a hurricane
  Yellow:
  selective blindness plagues her,
  muted and naive
  wearing daisy patterned dresses
  writing unsent love letters to suitors long gone by;
  glee shines from her smile,
  and her laugh like honey tinted sunshine
  undiluted and joyful,
  blurry around the edges
