My opaline life reflects

All the colourful moments

On a dark canvas.

Remnants of cherry embraces

Encrusted on my carpet;

Flaming tangerine sighs floating through

The bedroom windows every night;

Fumbling emerald lips,

Dripping Eu-de-Nil melodies,

Embedded in the couch;

Cerise flushes linger

Where your soothing caresses flowed;

Your amaranthine glances

Still cling to my pillow,

Casting shades of indigo

On my tearless eyes.

You vanished,

Vestiges of your colours

Remain.
