The wild waters of the Nalón
Cut through mountains over time
A separation of lovers
But now a river runs
Creating water for crops
Let's talk about Black Lives Matter...
It's our mistake; we're too busy being fake.
BLM started in 2013 against police brutality,
An attempt to search for equality.
Blue symbolizes trust, loyalty, wisdom, confdence, intelligence,
faith, and trust
Stongly assoiated with tranqullity
Blue can be the calm quit sea, hiding all those evil
wicked beast that lives down beneath
purple, yellow, green and pink
colours of all shades being swallowed in the sink
grey, orange, white and blue
noone is quite as dark as you
from window to window
from smiling to tears
these girls fan over my melanin as if it were designer
that they can try on and wear until they’re bored.
snatch the skin off this mannequin,
claw until they see fresh wounds,
and wrap it around themselves.
The trees in New York are so much wavier.There are different layers of opposites.Cattails in front of my nose, that house on the hill is staring into my eyes.I’m beginning to trust my gut more lately and I’ve been lucky not to blend into a peach f
Have you ever stared into another's eyes?
It's mesmerising, almost intoxicating.
The colours can be so vivid.
From the brightest greens of ferns and leaves.
To the deepest blues of a lake or the sea.
I feel like an artist,
Desperately trying to blend,
My darkened soul,
Into the rainbow that was once,
My mind.
you were a rainbow
so i too became one to please you
yet you cut me so deeply
i burst into a multitude of colour
yet to you
all i'll ever be is black and white
They took our pastures of greener grass in exchange for bibles
Evictng us from our homes
Leaving us to wander
Pass our seas and into boats that can barely manage the breeze
The colour of her dress as I dipped her on the dance floor that night
The colour of the sky as we strolled around town, aimlessly
The colour of the water as we splashed in the sea
"It's a disguisting color!"
Well, mam, I beg your pardon.
But that color I just mentioned-
Happens to be my favorite.
"It keeps you awake."
Can't deny that one,
But that's the fun,
the heart of the forest
darkness clothing bark
shadows hugging contours
of tallest trees
spruce and pine bark
boughs drifting down
sweeping needles
A stone so blueA Sapphire or soA doubt a soFor she, lovedThe colour of lavenderYet as oneWas she, also to be
"So what are you?" A question too familiar
Years ago my mind would halt, frozen
My heart would pound. "I do not know"
I did not want to know.
"Are you Asian?" Your ignorance now shows
I guess I should just tear you off
Because you seem to want to define me
I guess because I resemble a Hershey's kiss
I'm just as smart as one but half as sweet
Because I look like I'm from African
My heart bleeds
onto the glaring whiteness
of this canvas.
Oh how should
I state the story
of my soul?
Staining the white canvas
with colour.
Red.
We are stuck in a world of prejudice,
Where the colour of our skin does not go unnoticed
To say I am a citizen of the world is wrong,
Because I must find a way to belong
By colour, race and religion
Crisp,clear,oceans deep.
Stir within me feelings.
Open my soul,bare myself to you,make feelings brand new.
Sapphiresin the night sky.
