"Color Me Korean"

“Color Me Korean”  by Kiana Blanchard

I can feel the dynamic Korean thrum of familiarity in my ears

 As it colors my monochromatic domain.

 Sparks of pigment pulse, leading me to euphoria.

I am wholly consumed by its flashy masquerade and

We dance as if we are one.

Attraction is key as it lures me in

Leaving me no choice but to be held hostage

By the diversity of its culture.

Hues of  its language penetrate my very essence,

Seeping into me like a moisturizer for parched souls.

My vessel is possessed by the vigorous sway of the melody.

I am renewed after suffering the complete absence of sound.

This strain materialized

Blaring its vibrant being into my deaf ears and

An explosion of sensations overwhelm me

 As I ingest the brilliant tints of resounding chemistry

Between me and this music.
