i wish i could absorb color
like scent, give off the aura of blue
when i need to or
emanate red
i wish i could absorb the essence of you
or hold it in my mouth a while at least
like liquid i wish
i could spray parts of you onto
the parts of me that lack
like your bravery
at this moment
which must have been stolen
directly from a fairytale
because it is so beautiful
and audibly sincere
