emotions are gentle waves lapping the soft warm sand of a sun-kissed beach.
emotions are raging storms that toss the largest ships as if they were a child’s toy.
emotions are tiny bubbles that sparkle and effervesce as giggles that cannot be contained.
emotions are salty tears that drench our cheeks with their relentless downpour.
they are pastel shades of a mother’s love, that overwhelming poignancy of meeting her newborn babe.
emotions speak truth and tell the tallest lies.
they are dark and white, and grey and light.
they are all the colours of the rainbow, and the blackest dream in which to drown.
emotions are life and the only thing that emotions are not
Is death.
