What do you think this poem is about?

Don't Cry Over Spilled Sunsets

Happiness!
That is what he does to me
He paints me grey skies
Misty fog
Rainy fields
Beautiful uncertainty
Pierced
By dashes of red and orange happiness
Quick bursts
Of blushed reassurance
He interupted laughter
Smiles shared between us
Just to tell me
To catch the sunset
Spilled Sunsets
Dripping pink and bleeding orange
Red skies
Soaking into blue-grey canvases
He said if I turned my head I would miss it
If I blinked it would melt
But I did
And now it's gone
Oh well.

    He interrupted laughter... I love these two lines. its like being caught in a private moment with someone- interrupted. Love the images of this poem, especially the bleeding orange of spilled sunsets!

    Those are my favorite 2 lines, cuz I lived them! haha This whole poem is good. Exciting imagery crashes lightly into itself in the readers mind. I like the energy of this. Thanks for sharing.

    I like this one as well my dear......I love the fact that you used colors to represent feeling, they really painted the picture....and belabored the point well.

    He said if I turned my head I would miss it
    If I blinked it would melt

    Love that line BTW.
