Love Poem: Colors of My Day

Colors of My Day

Deep golden choirs ringing out
their scarlet anthems with a shout;
blood orange whispers echo
as the violet innuendo 
scatters all about.

The dusky pink clouds fade to grey,
the gulls, the sun, soon fly away;
this sunset's lacking just one thing -
your voice to help me sing 
the colors of my day.

   The evergreens are violins -
   crescendos of December winds 
     conduct the hills.
   With rhapsodies of terraced hue
   the sky resolves to royal blue, 
     but where are you?

The rainbow arches high above
and in it I see cascades of
your multi-colored resonance
I reach... and feel the presence 
of your ardent love.

Absorbing this, I realize
through many shades of changing skies
that you cannot be tied to one,
for your love is the sun
by whose light I see with iridescent eyes.
