Color of Love , Pt. One

It was the color of their love,
Red for desire.
Escaping form the cauldron of the forbidden,
Burning in flames of passion and fate.

It was the color of their love,
Blue for dreams.
Shades of surreal. Waterfalls of destiny,
Raging, roaring to be freed.

It was the color of their love,
Black for midnight.
In darkness the gates open,
The root is planted.
The garden bubbles in pleasure undeniable.

It was the color of their love,
Brown for earth. 
Bronze covers mango, in waves of unadulterated,
Cultured, liquid life,
Stirring, erupting, screaming, abandon form vessels who never
Knew such power could escape form their mere existence.
