The Ballad Of Roy G. Biv
bold energy
grunge-dance daring
red emergency!
flash wailing lights
spilling blood – war!

orange sunsets fierce-love
pouting lips
angry overflowing -
warmth?
feather whispers –
we are exotic
double-take look again
we’re never quite the same
but we brighten and become -
sunlight
we’re leaking sunshine
bright eyes bright smiles
neon yellow champagne bubbles
spring days
lazy daydream gauzy horse carnivals

deep
rich
spiraling down
FOREVER
elegant violet petal flowers kissing morning dew
