Colours of The Mind

Can't remember precisely when this was written, but I was beginning to think about colours and their significance. Have a feeling this was between 2001-3 I wrote it.

Colours of the Mind:

Every mood, sense and sight
One experiences every day
Has a special colour attached.
Red may symbolise danger,
But it also embodies a passion
That takes over your entire body.
This passion enables one to enjoy
What we all really want in life -
A touch, a kiss, a whisper of love,
Anger, rage, fiery tempers
And anything hot, steamy and lustful!
All this with shivers down the spine
And vibrating all senses.

Blue seems cold, but what about
Happiness, contentment and satisfaction?
Feeling calm and chilled out man
Is a major factor which balances one out.
Compared to red, blue keeps you level-headed
In times when challenges arise.
Body temperature remains the same,
Life goes on as normal - or does it?
If probed, life becomes unstable -
It can be cold when necessary.

Pink takes you back to day one -
The days of innocence, laughter and fun.
Pink blossom falling in a field
From the tallest tree is spiritual harmony
Maintaining karma and wellbeing.
Youth springs into action leaving a legacy
Of freedom for one and all.
Smiles everywhere, not a care left.

Black however is dangerous,
But also sultry, mysterious, sexy.
Revenge, oh sweet revenge
Dominates this colour - subtle or obvious!
Hate is part of it, but is usually
Suppressed until further notice.
Black stands out, but blends into
The background when not needed.
Cunning, wrily and seductive -
This is a colour not to be tampered with!

There are numerous colours I could mention,
But not all have inspiring depths -
Like green and its mellow feel,
But to others it can be physically sickening!
Or grey and its dull aspect.
It may be neutral, but there's no sparkle!
They and many more are colours of the mind,
But what you see in those colours
Is your soul - not anyone else's - yours.
