Yellow is the colour

to describe my place

yellow fever

sunshine

every day


Bright yellow sand

changes to mellow yellow

once a sizzling wave

touches the shore,

stepping on something hard

ouch

a spiky yellowish shell,

he picks it up

laying it gently

in her palm.



A hint of sea breeze

a sweet smell

of bright yellow frangipani

keep that summer feeling

going

even in the late

golden

autumn days


Whipping up

homemade

rich yellow

ice-cream

their

hands

their

mouths

sticky

full of mango

taste

and of each other.


A summer sun

in those vibrant

yellow shades

from morning

to evening

from pale yellow

to yellowish

hellowish red.


Yellow dress

on a golden

heavenly tanned

woman's body

golden earing

sparkling

in her long blond hair,

those tropical nights

yellow sparkles

in his eyes

sudden need to get up

and cool down

in dark

under the distant

pale-yellow moon.


A tiny yellow ray

finds its way

into their bed,

silky sheets

underneath

hot bodies

moving

passionatelly

unaware

of another

bright yellow

sparkling day.


Looking up

at

the slowly

diminishing

golden clouds

reflecting

yellow power

of the sun

lost under horizon,

she shivers

in the incoming dark,

he is gone.


Went back to mines,

up north,

where sun shines

even more,

another type

of yellow fever

catches him on.


"Don't leave your destiny

in the hands of others,"

she mutters,

closing down the blinds

ignoring

the mellow yellow

of the full moon.

There is one question

she doesn't know

how to answer,

the question

of deep yellow magnitude:

"Is the sun that never ceases to shine

a double edged sword too?"


Another yellow sparkling day,

dark yellow birds

visiting the garden,

the lovely honeyeater

is a regular caller

now too.

Feeding on yellow

grevilleas,

melaleucas,

acacias

and kangaroo paw,

any flower

thas has a tubular shape

containing

golden

yellow

nectar

nectar heaven,

golden yellow heaven

is her own

alone.


Powerful,

threatening

yellow

of summer bushfire

living

in a middle

of hot yellow

desert

the smell of smoke

she always think

about

what she would take with her

if

she needs to run...

a torch with a yellow beam

of light

to keep her

on a track at night.


She is the happiest

having enough time

to walk in sunshine

absorbing

this yellow light of life.

Life is

what you make of it,

work hard,

play hard,

be passionate

and love

what you do.

Yellow fever

catches you too....
