Love Poem: Her Scarlet-Red Scepter

Her Scarlet-Red Scepter

Breathtaking blue her sparkling eyes
   Rapturous red her ruby lips
Passionate pink her soft, tender cheeks
   Luscious lavender the skirt 'round her hips

Torrid turquoise her manicured nails
   Palatial purple the tiara 'cross her forehead
Eminent emerald gleam her toes' pedicure
   Winsome white the silk sheets on her bed  

Lovers knock on majestic mahogany doors
   Heavenly hopes swelling their heathen hearts
As she raises or lowers her scarlet-red scepter
   Whole kingdoms elevate---or tumble sadly apart
