I coloured my world today
my hands smeared in pastels
canary yellows
ripe peaches and cardinal ochres
pink from a flamingo sunrise
a passionate cerise
Splashed
an array of feisty blues
a flamboyant turquoise
a topaz tango
a twinkling periwinkle
Streaked it with
beams of gold
contoured lilac smudges
lavender tipped edges
in custard pineapple floats
Splattered emeralds, toned pistachio
fern greens with swift finger strokes.
Tempered it with
muddy crusty earthy browns
rock coloured sandy mounds
reined in royal purple
the sensual blaze of a flaming sunset
the dark indigo of a gloaming sky
agate drops a few
a silver sliver of a crescent new
I coloured my world
with my eyes
my fingers, my hands
my hues
....just the way I wanted to
