Colour me
Colour you
Colour the sky
shades of blue
Colour the feelings
Colour the sleeve
Colour in the heart
You never want to leave
Colour in our hands
Colour in our feet
Different shades from black to mink
Colour in our happiness
yellow or even pink
Let your smile be contagious
Imprinting like permanent ink
Colour me
Colour you
Colour the world
Colour true.
Colour diversity
Colour emotion
Colour freedom
Like the ocean.
Colour anger
Colour sadness
Colour education
Colour madness.
Colour acceptance
Colour peace
Colour your mistakes
Let your regrets cease.
Colour change
Colour understanding
Colour heartache
Colour expanding.
Colour gay
Colour transgender
Colour disabled, black & religion
Anything less return to sender.
So Colour me
& I’ll Colour you
Together Colour the world
For colour, is our glue.

Pen to paper
Why should you support poetry? Imagine, being able to unscramble the thoughts in your mind. Every little detail. Even the ones that, seem unrealistic. Sometimes even unfathomable. You know the ones where you think to yourself “that is crazy” or “I must be the only one that thinks that”. But somehow, in your mind, these thoughts make sense. So for a moment, just imagine, being able to make it make sense on paper. Written in biro, unable to erase it. All your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, anything and everything. The ink just flowing onto a5 paper, a4 if you have it. The pen doesn’t even feel punished for the drainage, just relief because it’s spilling truth. Spilling honesty. Spilling freedom. Transparency in its truest form, this isn’t something you’ll want to contour. Raw and unedited, even the lines through the ‘wrong’ words show character, because they’re still being seen. Scrambled thoughts being unscrambled.
