What is Red ---For my Color blind brother Chian, the Malaysian poet What is red? I asked And raised my silk red veil to your face Red You said As red as the summer tomatoes What is purple? I asked With a finger pointed towards the sky Purple You said A mystery likes a UFO What is yellow? I asked While we were running in the wild field Yellow You said Yellow is a daffodil among the grass What is green? I asked A cat opened its eyes after a nap in my arms Green You said The color of a pair of jealous eyes. What is black? I asked A parade for a funeral was passing by It smells black You said Dark as if passing through the death tunnel. What is orange? I asked We stopped in front of a traffic light Here comes the orange You yelled Let me know when I should slow down sailing Towards your harbor. What is blue? I asked The shadow of sadness covered your eyes A melancholy sigh from my lips Will make you cry. What is the color of the heart? I asked And let you touch my throbbing pulse "The rainbow" You said, "Is a colorful bridge after the rain."
