Green

Previously Published in Ice Lolly Review

She is green;

A mix of blue, the color of serenity,

(the water that flows in my body

whenever I see her),

and yellow, the color of happiness

(the smiles and laughs I instantly receive

whenever she enters the room);

hints of red, (the color of love,

the tender feeling I get

when I’m around her),

creating a deeper green.

A deeper version of her

where her smiles and laughs are amplified —

where her jokes excel

into the next realm,

where her words have the ability

to enchant the whole population

instead of just me;

A deeper, vibrant version

of her

would set the world on fire

from the confidence she casts —

would bewitch cities

with the magic of her words,

would turn villages upside down

with her laugh that would travel for miles.

A vibrant version of her would change the world;

I would know —

She already changed mine.
