Love is many colors-

A rainbow spectrum of emotions

That spill out in words and tears,

Soft hues that I wear for the moment,

As the heart tries to understand

The new fashion of the day-

Hoping it can wear it well.

I seek the warmth of the reds and yellows-

Trying to steer clear of the blues and violets

That leave me feeling cold and used,

But I find myself settling for browns and grays

And the safety of neutral emotions

That will not cause pain or tears,

Nor the pleasure of feeling alive.

I need to bathe in your rainbow,

Because the colors I see radiating from you

Are beautiful and leave me feeling warm and safe,

And your emotions that reached out and touched me-

Made me forget everything I ever knew about love,

Teaching me a new language far more beautiful

Than this heart ever knew existed or could comprehend.
