Colors of Love


 
Bursting shades of fire ember sweet desire 
an Orange Jubilee, bathing in the sun   
Wild charmed poppies, blushing  sunsets 
paprika colored dahlias blowing in the wind;
Nostalgic golden lights of evening twilight 
resplendent in vivid splashes of yellow 
Brass dreams tinted with soul's aspire,  
a wedding band of love that's timeless, old.  
Tinctures of diamond hues of sapphire 
indigo skies of teal, a planetary cosmic,  
infinite as the heavens that filled the stars *
Blue corn moments of sweetness,  
the artist's palette shimmers with light 
Starry Starry Night, twirling gazes 
barely grazing, each color begins to bleed  
beneath the morning fields of amber gray
Overlaid in silver the graying tones of life 
muted to perfection, a priceless heirloom. 
Impearled rosary beads, fingers turn    
the sterling breaths of love begin anew.  
Paint not in shades that don't belong to you  
for even God alone could not replace the hue,    
create the perfect shade in you, dear one  
and don't forget to be the best that you can be.

Dear Rose, this is so beautiful and how youv started the poem with such colorful imagery is catchy and drew me right in! Shows that you have a colorful mindset, and i love your use of flowers etc. and as i read i loved the middle too, “ the artist's palette shimmers with light Starry Starry Night, twirling gazes barely grazing, each color begins to bleed ” how artistic and descriptive! The ending speaks to my soul especially with the line “ don't forget to be the best that you can be.” thank you for the uplifting ending! So soulful! Made my heart beam! Congratulations on your win~
