Blue Did Not Stand Still

Violet showed up to the party unannounced

Filling my head, she came and went floating lifeless as if she didn’t make a dent in this world

She flirted with my ego, challenging it to stand alone

I crumbled at the thought

Solitude

Indigo introduced as chaos voicing a low and untamed growl in the pit of my stomach

Stirring back and forth eyeing the prey with a twinkle in an emerald eye that did not relent

Blue

Blue did not stand still

Blue hovered

Blue didn’t want to recover

Blue was silently violent

Green demanded to be the spectacle on the stage

Boasting wildly and untamed next to artists clenching naked brushes begging for a dip into warmer climates

Testing a tight-wire barefoot in the dark

Dimming the stoplight on an empty space

Yellow tiptoed into the darkness

Making a dent into first base

Orange grounded the chaos

Suffocating solitude

Red hunted the hunter

No longer the prey

I told Blue to stand still
