this is here because snick said i should share

[chocolate11786]

a lingering sadness pervades
my world of rainy blues and reds
watered greens and hazels become vibrant
in an eye full of ocean drops
the optical illusion of sun-smiles
creates rainbows in the minds of passersby
and the dream of gold
at the end of circular refracted colors
reflected in the salted water
dropping from clouded greens and hazels
to obscure the reality of ashen sidewalks and a shivering soul
sunburned with the smile rays
ignored, the child within
