Orange Ya Glad

A Palatable Palette

Colors can be used to describe people,

And there is a special kind of beauty in that.

Maybe it’s their aura or maybe it’s something more.

This is the color of my identity.

Like that feeling of not knowing a good thing until you lost it,

Orange is the underrated color that sits in your back pocket.

Mentally, she is enthusiastic and stimulating.

Bold enough to distract during business meetings.

The fire-haired vixen who plays the villain.

There is a reason why,

Orange, does not need to rhyme with anything.

People will try their best to tone down her glow.

As if finding the right shade can make all her nuances go away.

To add a Yellow fellow is simply too mellow.

No need to pair with a Green, indifferent color scheme.

Orange just overpowers anything.

She is watered down by the coupling calmness of Blue,

A complimentary match whose appearance portrays perfection,

yet she still finds herself drowning in it's tepid sea.

And that’s just it, isn’t it?

Orange is the wild temptress,

The burning flames that can never be tamed.

You can see her as the seasons change,

Or at dusk in the sky.

She is the fire in your belly and

That certain look in your eye.

It is the zest for life that she brings to the table.

That will leave you starved for more.

From the food you drink to the food you eat.

It is important to understand that everyone’s palette is unique.

But Orange, will always be a craved treat.

So just let her be.

Orange ya glad she is me.
