Colours

Red,
The summer sky is red,
scarlet ,
furious as my fathers face 
after another one for the road 

Blue,
the sea is blue,
shiny, shimmering and cold, 
my mother,  bejewelled, always shimmered 
but to me she was cold

Black,
The night is black, 
unwelcoming, 
all consuming 
turn that light out and stop your crying 
black
