Pastel

She reminded him of pastel colours
sea green eyes
fresh peachy cheeks
rose petal lips
raspberry kisses
lavender scent

When she was happy
his world was a field of lilacs
When she was annoyed
her kisses tasted lemon
When she was sad
smoke filled their home

Everything about her
was softer
veiled by her gentleness

When she walked out
his trenchant emotions
unleashed
He repainted their story
with a blaze of fire
