What’s the colour of love?
Is it black? Like amala
Blue? Like the sea and sky or
Green? Like leaves on tress or
Orange? Like the setting Sun
Red? Like blood and roses or
Yellow? Like honey or
White? Like tuwon shinkafa or…
Can love be a colour?
Yes, love is a mix of colours
It is the rainbow.
What’s the colour of love?
What do you see when the wave of nausea wakes you?
Do you remember the smile of mummy’s shiny white teeth
As she glowed in her heavily perfumed iro and buba,
Her sonorous voice singing us out of bed every morning
To the smell of Ovaltine in hot water;
Our tender feet would wander the mysteries of her luxurious home…
