What color should I then whisper?
against your comprehending ear
bent towards the aroma of stars
in the vacuum of a blue-black sky
You incubate dreams into realities
turning your laughter into a magic
that can only be really measured
by the rhythm of a genuine heart

Feel now how my pulse quickens
as two entities align fast in rhythm
This sweet chorus is borne of love
a warm smile is a lingering shadow
a moon suspended over the horizon
with the sweet gravity of sensual bliss
The earth pulls it closer to its bosom
keeping it near like a wandering child

I, too, covet your love as much as this
treasuring your essence as precious
tending to your love with affection
cultivating your garden of delights
My voice is a cello for your nights
and yours, a warm violin in my days
crafted of the same exotic wood
blended to play a sweet harmony

What color should I then whisper?
that would describe in intense detail
that perfection of your love for me
so that you would know my appreciation
I can trace the silhouette of your longing
as you seek with wide open eyes
the clear answer to why we are living
if our primal instinct is based upon love

I now anxiously await your attentions
in the same way that I await the spring
in the color of approaching evenings
when trees secretly weave their leaves
and I awaken to a sunrise of smiles
when the sun’s rays revive the blooms
when buds of trees suddenly explode
leaving their pastel snow upon the soil

What color should I then whisper?
so that I would convince you to stay
and share from the palette of my life
that is tethered to the core of my heart
the capacity that lies deep within me
to give in the same way it is returned
for the brushes of emotion are filled
as it paints our passion with love
