Grey is the color of the stormy sea that traps Her inside.
Saffron is the color of the silk that shields Her virtue,
Pomegranate sweetness lingers on Her tongue and stains Her fingers red.
The savory scent of seafood stew made with orange spices from Her home,
He promises She will never forget her past, or its flavors.
The green of His eyes lost as She eats what He provided.
The savage wants to see Her hair.
Her veil returns to its place.
Days pass, and a new land comes, Home, proclaimed in His voice with pride.
Savages dressed in furs, with ink painted skin and exposed faces,
but She is lead through them as a criminal in silver chains, not a Luna.
A white-haired elder, a blue-eyed healer and her black crow,
The rich brown and deep green of trees She has never seen,
Pale moss on dark rocks, and ahead on the path,
The color of His eyes around another female's neck.
Red raw emotions, crystalline tears reveal who she was to Him
Before He went across the sea.
He apologized for finding HER, His Mate...
What color is betrayal?
