Color
Color
Words are said golden;
Glittering and glimmering -- may be they are,
In their hearts, woven
With the worth of African gold and the warmth of Siberian far.
Hearts, are said to, know only color red
Does the pain too keep the crimson touch?
Splashes leave the scars, recurrent,
Pale, by and large.
Pulses whisper mark the signet,
There's the color themes some vibrant green
Don't know someone sought to peep the pipette
Or that remained ever unseen !
