It feels like COLOR

A poem of colorful emotions..

By Lorraine MartinezPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I was always taught to see colors.

Greens and blues,

purples too and reds of many hues...

Still I sit here confused,

What if colors are misused ?

What would have happened if we

Were all blind and colors were a mood

What if in the presence of blue

you really felt blue?

even tho your eyes were never trained to see the hue ...

what if anger was aroused

when reds around

and loves only synced

when we feel pink,

did you ever think

that colors are more than what you see in ink?

What if your emotions were brightened by yellow? To enlighten the mellow...

Could it be the reason the sun glows ?

I want to know because when I’m happy I feel like yellow is the color of my soul..

But see purple wins them all bringing up the mystical, in the spirit world it’s the color of the metaphysical...

Then there’s green, it activates the pride in me or in some that green monster of jealousy ...

Do we really need to see colors for them to be ? Do u “feel” colors or do you “see”?

I mean we can all agree that colors alter our mood when we step in a room,

Colors reflect truth.

So powerful! When asked your favorite color to choose..

I wonder if you choose the color or is it the color that choses you...
