The Colours of My Heart

Pathetic valentine paper hearts Always red with sing-song verse But mine is made of rainbow arts For better and sometimes worse. When my heart is full and overflows Family devotion, dear friends, my pets My heart is hot, it throbs, it glows With warm golds of autumn sunsets. And when my poor heart is broken When it’s hard to get out of my bed My heart is so heavy, like I’m chokin’ And it’s grey like it’s withered and dead. Open heart is blue and wide as the sea Guarded is yellow, be cautious with me. November 30, 2018

Very poignant and melancholy, with such beauty that reaches deep and touches the heart with sadness, profound ... I thoroughly enjoyed this, Cindi, and must fav. Blessings to you, my friend, for a joyous holiday! :-) <3

This was kind of sad but really well written Cindi. I love the use of colors to express certain emotions. This moved smoothly and the rhymes were spot on.
