moonstone violet

There's this specific shade

that gets me all tied-up-in-knots

and equally frayed--

this light lilac hue,

at the exact intersection of purple-and-blue.

I came across it in a Converse shoe-

moonstone violet, my life would never be the same.

The ultimate confidence-boost,

just look down at my shoes.

Always gives me a kick of joy to gaze upon

a colour so light and vibrant-

the colour of all-good-times.

They don't make this shoe anymore,

but yet it stays a part of me.

I look for it everywhere.

Down at my feet, at book covers,

in art galleries;

the colour, in my memory

brighter than ever.
