Colours

Blue is the colour of both the sea and the sky, of soft sea foam washing across sandy beaches, of cloudless nights, of summer days spent beside the pool, the cool water lapping gently at your toes. Blue is tranquillity, depth, understanding. Blue is a soft voice calling out, the one you don’t want to stop hearing. Who whispers encouragement and to whom you will always find sanctuary. 

White is the colour of cold, cold snow. Of the waning moon on sleepless nights, of the ice you dance across on a frozen morning and the breath you exhale. White is pillows on a lazy Sunday morning, fluffy clouds trimmed with silver, clean sheets, and warm milk. White is purity and forgiveness, faith, and softness.

Red is the colour of fire and blood, of heat and emotion, of passion and of danger. Red is pain and loss and hunger and hatred, of love and commitment. Of beauty and of roses- the type with thorns that prick your finger, you wipe away the blood. It is the comfort of a much-needed hug, the heat of intimacy, the sharp feeling in your chest and the crimson liquid your hands are covered in. Red is haunting and deceiving, angry and envious.  

Author's Note

I tried to describe a few colours a while back and this happened. I'll add more when I get more time. Thanks for your patience!
