Color of Tears

by Sylvia   Mar 17, 2009


Do tears have colors?
Blue when you are sad?
Red when you are mad?
Pink when you are mellow?
Black when you are in pain?

What color are tears when you are happy?
Do they leave streaks of color
on your face when you cry?
If I look in the mirror,
what colors will I see today?

A rainbow of emotions painted
on my face by the color of tears.

    WOW. Such a clever write. What a coincidence, i was thinking about the colour of tears yesterday. Not quite how you wrote it, but i was thinking about crying while wearing mascara and how that gives you black tears.. etc.
    I really loved this, so creative.

    Oh wow I loved this.. the color of tears when different emotions are being felt.. what a unique piece, I really loved the end .. the idea of the "rainbow" many colors, many different emotions.

    I loved this piece.. it was simply written but a wonderful read!
    Glad I read this.

    5/5.

    Very thought provoking poem. I never thought of tears as having color....I know I have cried many different kinds of tears....it would be cool to have your aura read when you were crying for different reasons to see if the colors change.
    Very interesting.

    I think happy tears are made of gold and they do not leave a mark, whereas all the others leave scars on your soul and cracks on your skin...and turn your whole face a whiter shade of pale.

    Good write, dear lady:)

    *hugs*

    5/5 Ingrid
    ps: I have that rainbow too;)
