Poems of Mine

the view of the sky from the hood of your car

And at first it was red

We had parked the car and sat on the hood

Waiting for the orange and

Yellow

To mingle in

Watching it spread like fire across

The horizon

And finally when we climbed down

And trampled over the green

Grass

To get back into that small sedan

It had finally turned a light shade of blue

No clouds in sight

Just a vast expanse of ocean hovering

Precariously

Over our swimming eyes

And when the day finally closed

And we came back to our spot

(our favorite spot, you know the one where we found the blanket with the indigo polkadots?)

It had turned its best shade of violet

When the darkness of the night mixes with the purple of the light

It was just so fucking beautiful

And we sat there until the blinding white of the stars

Started to fill in the gaps of the blackening universe

Until we finally fell asleep wrapped in the solace of our colors
