Love Poem: Colors of Love

Colors of Love

Our fingers interweave, like a key in a lock
The tumblers click into place, and the world opens
Warm, orange glow between our hearts
Coursing down our arms to each other, tearing through
The amber cocoon around my inner being, awake again to
Your beige perfection, my scarlet, grateful unworthiness
And the vibrant greens and blues around us
Your fluid grace and power unmask your freckles:
The rosettes of a leopardess, proud and powerful
Tan skin and graceful lines, at once camouflaged
Yet with a profound presence that welcomes me
Your mocha eyes lock with mine, and the energy flows
In a growing crescendo of electric blue and yellow
Between us in a complete and perfect circle again
