Coloring of Night
an amused lilt adorns two crimson lips
with a first glimpse into the deep saffron sunset of eve
crystalline aquamarine pools cast a gaze
taking delight in this time escaped
wisps of your lemon gilded hair flee their bindings
as we steal into the lilac-hued fields of night
hand in hand, we behold the tangerine arc of the graceful sun
slipping into peaceful slumber 'neath a blanket of hillside
ne'er before seen guileless beauty follows
in the appearance of distilled magical faerie light:
auroras floating by in lavender and chartreuse swirls
across the charcoal painted skies
twinkling coral celestials reign overhead
smiling upon our watermelon shaded cheeks
from chilled whispering words of ardor
breezing by in this, our color-breathed eventide
