Vermillion

The sand on the Shores hid treasures of shells,

Under His skin, like a man with secrets.

In the distance, the setting sun shone, 

In the vast sky, like a man in love,

Spreading scarlet hues across the world.

The rays kissed the Sea, turning the waves blush red.

With a pinch of vermillion, the Sky painted the Sea

He made Her a reflection of Him,

From dusk to dawn, day to night, the Sea saw Herself

Coloured in His tone, just the way He liked it.

The Sky made the Sea easily His,

While She tried all Her life in vain, to Meet the Shores.
