Techno music waves crashlanding
seashell white fairy lights on sands;
Live-wire lilac's dirty dancing
with lurid green shoes to loud bands
sparking off red rumours I see;
Glitter falls on black and white beats,
pink ting-ting on piano keys
~ I am only crossing the street

Such perfect rhythm to go with the vivid images. The glittering black and white beats–I can picture them now. (K)

Thank you K! It’s fascinating to think of images and sounds playing in the mind of a synesthetic ( if that’s a word 😀)

Music seems a natural place for colors to attach themselves.
