The Many Colours of Love

Here’s an interesting poem by Sara on the many colours of love – exclusively for Different Truths.

When love is purple
There is no hurdle
When love is blue
You are in a few
When love is red
Have a strong head
When love is pink
Hold her hand and sink
When love is grey
Don't present yourself on a tray
When love is black
Don't go forward; step back
When love is brown
Gently move to town
When love is yellow
Be a chosen fellow
When love is green
Show her that you are keen
When love is white
Make a high flight
When love is like a rainbow
Dive into it and flow.
