The Color of Loving You

My favorite colors Were blue and Red Blue for calm and River and storm An echo of the Night sky. Red was for flame and Anger and The hesitant second Before you pressed Your lips to Mine. Red and blue were My favorite colors Were. Now its you You. Swirls of everything Passion, fury, Confidence. Swipes of smiles Teardrop splatters A jungle of scratches on A record Feathers falling From a dreamcatcher My mouth pushing words Off of paper And tension leaving Your shoulders. Now my favorite color Is hunter green, Violent purple, Wood stained picture frame, And the gold that Escapes the sun’s Sleep. It’s the adventure, the Experience, the Courage, the Color Of loving you.
