Smell of colors
Regene hamilton 1999 (Jamaica)
Do you know what colors smell like?
Some smell of death, others smell of joy and peace so there's no need to fret.
yellow smells of sunshine the fire in one's soul, white smells of life and innocence in everyone young and old.
Red the kiss of desire this smells of sweet seduction, pink smells of Love that blossoms at any hour.
orange smells of sunset and sunrise just the same, but before that there is purple to show that dawn is near.
Blue it smells like the ocean that can be gentle and it's calm
and gray it smells of the stormy winds that crash these waves at large.
Voilet it smells of nightfall when the stars begin to dance
and black it smells of midnight that no shadows dare to walk, for black is the dead of night.
Green it smells of nature so fresh and so Serene, brown her earthly lover that gives her space to flower in between.
There are a lot of colors that could have been mentioned but what difference would it make? For all the rest are a mix of the others a blend that gives and takes.
This question is a weird one but still, I had to ask......
