Hi there! Sometimes you’re just in too good a mood to write the sad poem you were going for, and this happens. Go find the things that fill your life with colour!
There exists beneath these surfaces,
A void, the containment of a
Hollow shell, a distinct and grey-scale lack,
And emptiness; the colours
Bleached and lost, not even
The edges of sepia persist, no
Brightness here exists, no
Painted hues or glistening,
Glittering shades of blue;
No stars or pinpoints of light
To brighten the void, space
Undefined, immoral
Unprecise, disguised,
Uncertain, unrefined;
Indistinguishable from life through its abstraction
And the ever-present sense of something
Not quite akin to regret, begotten
By loss and forgotten in every shade
Of blue;
Every hue of scarlet that comes bursting through in
Violent, violet flames, sparking
Fireworks of green, cascades
And torrents of the brightest yellow,
Through cherry and emerald, burgundy and beryl,
As all the light comes flooding in, golden sheen,
Lapis lazuli unseen
Here before;
Gems and rainbows and blushing,
Rosy pinks;
And, I think
They will take a while to fade;
For where I once was empty, I am
Now
Filled with colours.
This poem was partly inspired by this YouTube video by the amazing creator KickThePj, who is truly inspirational, and I strongly advise you go check out some of his amazing films and music, as well as some of his ‘just kind of crazy’ videos!
