Yellow is going to be the color that saves me

Yellow is going to be the color that saves me

A Poem by Matthew P. HIll

                                          Indigo holds a mystery to the eyes of an African queen
Gold traces her silk dress in patterns abstract and serene

Vermilion holds the brilliance to ecstasy blushing cheeks
Acrylic pottery full of bright turquoise waters dissolve my face

Raspberry n*****s when they touch the first of air
The mint of morning

Sapphire earnings stud her lobe 
She is not a second hard of hearing

Wonder loves me just as much

Chestnut and deep ruby cinnamon 
Vivid slender profile bone white in the fog
She comes closer she brings her vintage roses

A lasting whisper
What she said I won't wish to forget

"See this sun rise?" 

At that moment I said, "Yes."

"This is going to be the color that saves you."

"Yellow"

She lightly chanted

"Yellow"


"Yellow"



"Yellow"





"Yellow"











"Yellow"
