Shades of red
Pangs of passion
Eyes darting across
Love, contempt, hatred 

Cries in green
From far and near
See them all around

Some honest, some mean

Hues in brown
Time stands still
Dry tears rolling
Away from a frown 

Shadows in pink
Walking away…
Scornful smile
Puts me on a brink  

Tinge of yellow
Spread across
Days and nights
And evenings mellow  

Pains in blue
Soft and killing
Dreams unbound
Some false, some true 

Colours of white
Shaded in black
Life is but grey
Shining bright
