A colorful rhyme to pass your time
So, if I’m to be honest, I do tend to hide Certain aspects of my life that might give me pride. I am humble and quiet, a true introvert.

Color ME BLUE
Come hither you say in a voice as sultry & smooth as a deep sea blue wave. I am but a step away. We lean into each other as only our damp foreheads graze. Your skin a burnished and bronzed copper; mine, a shade of pale cream with speckles of cocoa brown. My hair, a deep golden red, is fire-lit from the setting sun behind me. I feel your harmonic blue-violet QI radiate through me, enveloping us in a protective shield of weightless shimmering white. BREATHE. We clasp hands. My blood red fingernails almost match the hastening sun in her final burst of splendor before her evening's rest. We dig our heels deep into the golden silky sand and off we dash towards the serene indigo blue of midnight Water. Restoration. MNI WICONI ~ WATER IS LIFE

At a first glance, what do you see? A feminine stature, and a complexion of tea? Though it is true, it is more than what it seems

Color
Everyday, all I used to see was red. It would come in many forms, and occupy many spaces. I would see red skies. Red people. Red water. Red arms.

Counting Weird Sheep
Stress red slowly turns to calming blue, with the rough day ending sleep wont come easy, I know just what to do. As I lay my head down to sleep, I need to count some sheep.

The Rainbow Ocean🌈Wavy!!!💕
The little speed boat I’m driving is making me laugh. I’m blushing as I say this but my boat is rainbow colors. I tie my bow on my shirt as I pull my speed boats motor. As I pull the motor the colors fly everything where blue purple green my paints fell in the ocean changing into rainbow colors immediately. Suddenly there’s a hoe in my boat, I fell in the ocean to see a bunch of rainbow fish a sea turtle and a sail. I see a Leprechaun with this magical way beneath the ocean he holds my hand and tells me he’s my father I slightly smile and blush saying thank you. The Leprechaun brings me to a world in the ocean full of gold cash and plenty of Dolphins, Snails whales with lots of ocean life. Then he disappeares the Leprechaun from a distance I see he’s patching my boat from the hoe. The shark ate me in the ocean I though when I was down deep under ,but it was all a dream at sea. I wake up to the sound of the great blue waves and a beautiful Rainbow high above me along the dawn morning.

For miles
In a world that begs me color blind I absolutely refuse For there is beauty in these hands we bind And in its constant abuse

I am a blue tele wire rubber band, who’s lifespan depends on how anxious my master is. My objective of use was initially to hold the hair together.

So they say I’m alcoholic Guess that’s what they chose to call it When you know more than the rest You put the Evil to the test

Sparkling with the sunlight reflecting on the royal sapphire in my ear Teal of clear abundant summer skies and fluffy clouds will soon appear
