Tower and Town, December 2015

  (view the full edition)

Sadness

Sadness is an acrylic blue mixed with sorrow painted on a canvas,
It tastes like salt dissolving in your dry mouth.
It smells like smoke that’s been drowned by the tears from your weeping eyes.
Sadness looks like a waterfall flooding your heart
And like the shadow of a dark cloud dispersing which was once filled with life.
It sounds like your heart, willing for happiness but a tide of water washes the joy
out of your mind.
Sadness feels like a lump in your throat, exploding,
Begging you to cry.
