[ENG] OPERA

Poetry

I wrote Opera between the end of 2012 and the beginning of 2013. Maybe you won't like it. Maybe you will find it pointless. For once, that's fine. I wrote Opera for me. Opera is about what I've learnt in this period of my life, it's about the person...

"Black is a sorrowful color"

Your back has been inked in blood and purple
with wings that won't flutter

"But I guess white is the most lonely
All light rejected"

"What color are you?"

I can be what you need
the darkness where you can find light
the light that casts away the darkness
the blue of the days of innocence
or a kiss plastered in crimson

"I am the color of water"

I gave up green rejecting envy
I gave up red rejecting possession
I gave up black rejecting pessimism
I gave up violet rejecting sadness

but I embraced all the colors wind carried

"My palette is overflowing with benevolence
so pick up the color you need
for your picture"

There's no such thing as a useless color
the light on your back is a perfect mixture
of a flawlessly balanced spectrum

and you're shining
