A Color Poem

Arizona- Kings of Leon

Orange waves splash on a beach made of sound,
Tumbling over each other like puffy peach clouds sailing in the sky
It’s all he ever needed, all he ever wanted

He wades into the ocean at sunset, the orange sun drowning in the water below
Reflecting worlds onto the tumbling waves
Now he’s too dumb to surrender and cannot find it in himself to turn back
He’s been pulled under, washed my orange currents of sound

It’s a whole new place under the orange tide
He swims past orange slopes peaking in the clouds of frothy foam
That reflect in deep underwater pools of orange light

Too drunk to remember, too drunk to, he drifts through orange pockets of sound
When suddenly he surfaces and again wades in the orange spray of flying mist
He tastes something awful, hates when that happens

Fading light dims the sky, vague shapes poke out in the clouds
Turning to vibrant blasts of orange, exploding in the night
