Outwardly yellow
A beacon of positivity and optimism
Listening. Lifting others up
Triumphing over adversity
Which turned my essence blue
A vast, endless ocean
Dreams shattered in an abrupt tsunami
I learned not to put my happiness
in anyone else’s pocket
Trust broken
He walked away
Left me with sole responsibility
of three blank canvases
to mould and guide
MS like poison
flowed through my veins
Stealing my body
piece by piece
Disbelief, despair, disillusioned
I contemplated an exit
Gradually the blue dissipated
Angry waves
replaced by a rippling stream
Glowing red embers
collide with undulating water
Small fires ignite inside me
I rise. Effervescent
with a charismatic aura of purple
Creating inspirational words and melodies
Embracing faith and spirituality
On a quest for love and romance
Passionate and mysterious
In the whirling kaleidoscope of people
See my yellow
Embrace my blue
Admire my purple
The me I want to be
