Sliding Down the Rainbow

Stop your talking!

someone said............

"the elevator's turning red!"

I feel the pressure in my head,

   F
     O
        R
          G
            E
              T

the things you tried  to say,
the night is dark,
the moon is gray,
the colors melted all away,

I scooped them up and licked them down
red and yellow,green and brown
I live to be the shades I found,

inside.........
I am dark no more
look inside the  open door
of my lips and taste and see
what a rainbow love can be.
