THE WALLS SPOKE TO HIM OF HER
He had painted the walls of her colours, so he could remember her for all time and they spoke to him of her, now that they surrounded him He wanted to be within the warmth of her arms but could not be, they were such a distance apart, and the closest he could be was to have the colours of his love around him so that he could feel her body and soul next to him, He first painted one wall a delicate golden yellow to reflect the sun, so that he may remember the gold of her hair as the light danced on it, oh how he loved that so, Next, he chose a soft pink, the shade of her luscious lips to paint the wall he would look at as he went to sleep each evening, so that he may dream of her kiss, something he has never felt, but that he still did miss For the last wall, he chose the colour of her eyes, and this colour was a beautiful sea blue, one that would calm him whenever he was under stress, and when he needed her tenderness Surrounded now by her, he felt safe, and loved, and free from harm, if only she was with him, all would be right, and the colours would fade softly as he took her within his arms in the deep of the night, awaking to the dawn, with his love in living colour by his side, still holding her tight. |
Across the crowded room he mouthed the word to her, their own special code Her eyes lit up, as she strolled over to be by his side, 'Ah, you remembered, my darling', he said she replied, 'how could I not, when you had told me this in bed' It was at times like this, with people all about, when sometimes each felt a bit alone, when separated by so many, that the word came into play So that day, they decided that 'Elephant' was their code word, no matter how absurd The reason being, if you kind of mouth the word 'Elephant' slowly, it can look like, 'I Love You'. Therefore this special little word connected them all night long, no matter where they were in the room.
