Watercolors MAG
January 17, 2014
Watercolors.
We were watercolors.
I was burgundy,
and you were crimson.
We slid on to each other
and made a runny ugly brown no one
would want to use.
But when our lips first met,
we were an explosion of bright reds,
fireworks,
and the stardust that is left on a little girl's eyelash
every night before she falls asleep.
We were beautiful,
even if for an instant.

Omigosh I really like the stardust on a little girls eyelash line! This was really interesting and painted a really clear picture for me; the imagery was great! Good job, I loved it!
