Colour is false advertising.
You don’t believe me?
Take the Mona Lisa:
leave it in the heat,
watch the colours seep out
like scattered sheep,
see the colours try to
withstand the light,
but they can’t –
they can’t coalesce.
Instead the pigments manipulate
each other,
destroy the saturation within
themselves.
Until what’s left
is an ugly damaged Lisa.
Cocktail
I move my bourbon lips towards this boy.
I suck on his hardened crystal
and start to work on it.
I submerge it in this bourbon,
spit on it, gargle on it, choke on it,
until it dissolves into a sucrose syrup.
I add three dashes of Angostura bitters
to balance this sweetness,
garnish with mandarin peels to excite his palate,
add ice to impede the melting process.
It calms my spicy caramel notes.
His sweetness becomes pronounced;
my temperature drops rapidly
but I continue to stir.
syntax ERROR
It’s just not working
The formula in this calculator doesn’t make sense
We keep getting syntax ERROR
We keep pressing the <left> or <right> key
to go back to the location of the errors
To try to fix this formula
But nothing seems to work
We’ve changed the angle mode from degree to radian
We’ve put excess brackets in this formula
We’ve substituted the [(-)] function for the [-] function
We’ve removed unnecessary letter expressions
We’ve deleted unwanted memory data
We’ve re-set this calculator multiple times
_
Honestly,
The most logical thing is
cancelling this formula and pressing [AC].
My BloodMoon
In the melted darkness, I see a blood diamond.
My anger fades with the moonlight,
This anger drains from my soul.
Its red splendour radiates,
Shadows caress and drape over this dazed moon,
A moon completely in sync with the earth’s disc.
Perfect alignment and accord.
With every tick of the clock,
My insides start to quiver,
Soon this eclipse will be over
And all I’ll have are faded memories.
I wait and I wait.
But then, the moon fades not yet to grey.
The clouds try to distort and drown the moon’s face but the moon continues to glow
The rain tries to quench the moon’s light but the moon lets out a crimson scream
You have eclipsed me like this moon,
Just like a fiery love you shine.
Just like the moon stabilises the earth’s axis
Just like the pendulum regulates a clock’s speed,
So has this girl completely eclipsed me.
