Soul of Colors

Red. 

Cherries, apples, cars, and toys.

Everything that is red certainly makes a noise.

From strawberries, peppers, roses, and trees too. 

Red is the color for me and you. 

Anger, love, danger, and heat.

All the watermelon you can eat.

Running around on the playground.

Making myself a paper crown. 

Remembering my childhood once more. 

Nostalgia gives a roar. 

Orange. 

Juice, basketball, pumpkins, and fun.

Orange is the color close to the sun.

From oranges, carrots, and balloons.

I continue to watch afternoon cartoons.

Energetic, happy, and even mean. 

The candy you can eat during Halloween. 

Playing tag with my friends.

Fantasizing about future boyfriends. 

Remembering my childhood once more.

Nostalgia knocking at my door. 

Yellow.

Cheese, eggs, and everything new.

The color yellow breaks you through. 

From bananas, corn, and smiles.

Biking down the streets for miles. 

Cheerful, laughter, optimism, and hope. 

Running around playing with a jump rope.

Watching movies and eating popcorn. 

Eating the tasteless candy corn. 

Remembering my childhood once more.

Nostalgia shakes the floor.

Blue. 

Berries, jeans, boots, and butterflies.

The color blue is sad like the skies. 

From sadness, music, and frowns.

Blue brings you through your ups and downs. 

Splashing the water in the kiddie pool.

Trying to make yourself look cool.

Trying to do good in your life.

Will you end up being a good wife?

Remembering my childhood once more.

Nostalgia sleeps with a snore.

Nostalgia makes you feel at home.

But you are ready for the future places you can roam.

Your childhood has taught you good and bad.

To think about it makes you sad.

The childhood you overcame.

Turning into the person you became.

Colors remind you of your childhood games.

You remember trying to remember everyone’s names. 

Nostalgia can make you regret.

But without my childhood, my future wouldn’t be set.

  • The Sun In Sight

    Perspective in the palm of my hand
    Fast, slow, fallen like sand
    Goals to achieve
    Missions to chase
    Minutes, seconds
    Failure at the end of the race
    Pick me up, piece by piece
    Paradox insight
    We had the time of our lives
  • Lost

    I wouldn’t go that way if I were you.

    The maze is too good to be true.

    Magical creatures from here and there.

    Enter if you really dare.

    You’ll lose track of time.

    You’ll soon begin to climb.
