Yellow Sapphire
Onyx of darkness crumbled beneath my bed,
I lit a bead in fiery scarlet hues on a novel white canvas
A fire enraged in the hollows of anxieties
Oh my precious canvas burnt in raging flames
The bead from the canvas somersaulted in my room
Hallucinations of muddled cobwebs entangled me
It whirled and swooshed my fears in numbness
My drooping desires curled into creeping snails,
It flashed visions from black to topaz blue
Ruby for a while then emerald oh then amethyst
Lit the world with fireworks of hope in the moonlit sky
The reasons to die, the desires to live, dancing chaos
Ashes of my canvas scattered around in the morning,
My brush dipped in blood red fears-- yellow sapphire gleaming in my palm
