Kaleidoscope (Poem)

By Alessa Dayananda

---

Red lips, red cheeks, red stained tongues from the cherry popsicles that we just shared 

Brown eyes, brown sweaters, brown bag where you carry all my handwritten letters

Green eyes, green moss, green forests where we chase each other till our calves ache

Purple nails, purple grapes, purple clock that ticks away our time together 

White flowers, white blankets, white paper where we jot down our hopes and dreams

Blue skies, blue waters, blue: what I feel when I'm not with you.
