Dilute

A kryptid exploration of color

By KryptidKorinPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

For many, Red is anger or passion

a fire blazing, gaining traction.

My tiny Red sits small, and soft

swinging high in my heart aloft.

Small Orange sparks of empathy;

overwhelming Yellow trickles of sympathy.

They claim Green lacks creativity,

but it is imagination’s nativity.

Blue for many attributes calm or sad,

for me, its the ocean answering Anxiety’s want-ad.

My bleeding royal Purple heart

a fathomless emotion cart:

Purple, Yellow, Black, and White determine my gender,

to fill me up takes so much more to render.

Purple and Green are my favorite hues-

they alone do not complete my view.

My birth dictates Purple and Blue;

Good thing there is so much more to me and you!

My blood runs R e d,

but I’m made with so much more thread.

One color or interest- so hard to dissolve my individuality,

when I alone, am an infinite entity municipality -KS
