Poet's Corner: Colour Blind


When I first met you

I went red
With crimson passion,
Yet,  as I sped

Through golden fields,
White river beds,
Sapphire peaks
And wooden sheds,
I saw you close
Your eyes
And said:

‘Pray, look around!
Don’t close them
Yet!’

But then you spoke
as your heart bled:

‘I’m colour blind.
To me, you’re dead.’
