Colors of Romance

Shades of a rainbow in colors you pick
Smiles all in cardinal for kisses that stick
Cheeks all a blush in rosey nosegays
Eyes of azure that sparkle and play

Alive is a word that dresses in love
Cobalts of blue delight skies above
Colors ablaze as in spring all year through
Love a kaleidoscope in me and in you

Yellow the golden that peeks from beneath
Carnelian blossoms as hearts keep the beat
The footsteps kick stars up from the heels
Walking is proud and the whole spirit feels

Its sensing and loving, devotion a'stirring
Holding caresses with kissing occurring
Its tongue tied and goosebumps
With hearts whispered...... purring

Its birds out of nowhere with flutters a' wing
Its winter with cold all warmed into spring
Its smiles going miles with fancies a' bustling
In colors of love and passion a' rustling

Its rainbows unended with arches of color
Then treasures in hearts and kisses that smother
The hugs and the fingers all woven in two
The colors of romance in me and in you.
