Tower and Town, December 2015(view the full edition)      SadnessSadness 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. Emma |
