Migraine

Migraine's merciless fangs sink into my skull

Probing

Twisting

Changing sounds into colours

words into

 figures

 

Not so distant trains' whistles furious red and orange steam

 

My sleeping son's breath is light blues and greys punctuated by white snores

 

I fight the urge to bow at the altar of caffeine once more

o you cruel taskmaster

 

cover my eyes

hide my face

let darkness shroud the pain

shelter me from the gnawing agony

They are such an unfortunate pain that I can relate to! I get them with aura, so the color variations you mention here are spot on!

One more thing...I adore your avatar!! Nice to meet you, Laura!

[Barbara Walker]

Migraines, the headache that powers over everything! My sympathies...

[Chris]

...yes...

[Michael Stevens]

Yep, the same disease; excellent!
