Violet, indigo, carmine, teal, orange, ivory, red, ebony, are the colours of my lovely.

.

I have a million words

On the tip of my tongue,

Old, loud, beautiful chords

Just waiting to be sung,

Sadly they will all die

Upon my trembling lips,

– Unsteady, rocking ships,

Upon a stormy sea

That none but I will see –

As once more I shall lie

To cover up my heart,

Scared it would make us part

If you were now to learn

How much for you I yearn…

I could feel the tears well

Long before my heart fell.
