Colourfication

Colourfication




In Navy suit, since he was ready for sail,
she stood with vermillion on her head,
Embellished with diamonds studded in gold,
an ivory necklace embraced her neck.

A bouquet of flowers in all hues of lilac,
interlaced with beaming threads in olive,
Lit her paling life, wiping glooms of charcoal,
and tinged her beats glitter in subtle cerise.

Longing embed as silver streaked her plaits,
till every evanescent dawn of tangerine twilight.

I like this, Upma. But maybe you should change a few of the colors to the synonyms he gave us to use for the contest. For example, I don't think you were supposed to use words purple and black, but choose a synonym of those colors!

Doc unless my interpretation is wrong this is talking about meeting and marrying your spouse. I think this is an exceptional enigmatic write. Very Pleasant and soft. Nice touch doc. Peace doc, if I'm wrong don't hurt me :):)
