The Human Spectrum

Iridescent Love

By Patrick ManosPublished 5 years ago 1 min read
San Pedro de Macoris Batey

Red running through my veins,

tints of green in my gaze,

pumping love in countless ways,

this is who I am.

Meek and tender is my touch,

my love for humans sometimes too much,

lifting those that feel rather blue,

this is what I do.

Yell ow and I'll run to you,

quiet sounds,

I'll still hear you,

looking past the superficial,

this is how I am.

Orange as Key West sunsets,

upbringing different from the rest,

diverse in culture,

language too,

feeling different as I do.

Radiant is my soul and heart,

hues of violet set me apart,

I love myself the way I am,

this is where I stand.
