Colors Still Bloom
Under a dull, ancient house colors now bloom
Through day and even night, he watered the ground
“Whatever it takes,” he said despite the gloom
Then under the tamarind tree she was found
Unfortunately, they were destined for doom
But soon nonetheless king and queen they were crowned
Love wasn’t enough and they were covered in stones
Now flowers and tree roots grow into their bones
