Colour Of Your Emotions Poem by PHUMLA KHANYILE

I wish I were the strings of your guitar

Striking all my notes with passion

Clutching me close to your heart

Sealing each play with a kiss


I wish I was the lyric of your song

Composed from the deepness of your heart

Sang with such passion and sincerity

Translating all your felt emotions


I wish I was your pulse

Embedded in your veins

Pumping life to your every corner

Locked up within your walls


But I am a distant memory

A place seldom visited

A thought often shifted

A reality unacknowledged


I walk close yet to you am miles away

A blurred shape or form

Am I not worth to be housed in your mind?

Just for a while matter most to your eyes!


Can I be the colour of your emotions?

Brightening your world with peace and splendor

Be the laughter in your eyes

The sugar on your salted tears


I wish I were the air you breathe

The waters your drink

The land you walk on

For a while rule in your world
