Hues

What is the color of love? 
Is it red? 
Pink, purple, the color of lilacs, 
Yellow, daisies, butterflies in the stomach,
glitter and unicorns,
skipping through a garden? 

What is the color of pain?
Is it blue?
Brown, dead orange leaves, 
grey, chrysanthemums and carnations,
pitch black, with the muffling sound of a thousand bees?

This poetic trip though your imagination is thought provoking, descriptive and creative. Emile.
