Red Is the Colour of Passion

Me a colored blind dreamer My other senses honed You ask What can I know about color I am told red is the color of passion I feel the heat Between us I smell the rose in your long black hair The feel of the red silk nightie I remove from your body Beneath is your browned skin smooth and luxurious I see it with my hands I travel to pink with my tongue Separate your lips Taste the essence of you I see the blue of my eyes in your smile As I swim in your ocean You who knows every part of me Yellow is the brightness of your soul You light my spirit Permeating all my dark corners You are the color of all my dreams My rainbow and pot of gold I am satisfied Yet I have no desire to leave your embrace I see and feel all your colors Satisfy me again Let me hear the sound of our colors combined

Wow! Richard, this poem is so luscious and hot I can barely type my response to it.. lol! Such passionate desire expressed so colorfully from one who can't discern color, 'I see it with my hands' - such deep sensuality, emotion and appreciation is felt from you in your poem.. The breathtaking beauty of your write left me breathless my friend... now off to find 'Your Ocean'.. Warmest wishes always.. ~Susan

Btw... I've responded to the comment on my poem. The stick was actually an instrument called a didgeridoo. It's very, very odd sounding... look it up on youtube if you are curious.

I am familiar with the instrument and I love the sound it resonates in the rib cage. It hales from Australia. Some of them are really huge.

You've been the romantic lately now haven't you? This really makes me wonder if colors are more of something you feel or a sensation? How can one explain the concept of colors to one is colorblind (or in fact FULLY blind)? I remember watching a movie about a disfigured man falling in love with a blind woman... he explained colors to her by use of hot (red) and cold (blue). But you don't need to take my advice... you seem to have the person that explains these things to you everyday :)
