Colors of Love

Colors of Love

I’ve been thinking of a painting, that I’ve created in my mind
It’s a painting of something special, for which colors are hard to find
I’ve searched all over, even the rainbow that leads to the gold
In hope of finding those special colors, for my canvas to hold

I know this painting would turn out right, if I had those colors to start
Special colors full of emotions, from which I could paint from my heart
I’m not really a painter, just a person with an empty palette of dreams
Someone searching for the color of love, and searching forever as it seems

What is the color of love, and why is it so hard to find
I know exactly what it looks like, but I only see it in my mind
Perhaps those colors are already with me, somewhere deep inside
And can only be released through my emotions, which I know I just can’t hide

There’s a masterpiece in my heart, which my canvas will soon acquire
And with every brush stroke that I’d make, it soon would be ready to admire
Where is that special color, that I need so very much
To add to my palette and give my painting its one final touch
 
This vision I have in my mind, is really a painting of you
There’s no need for rainbows, only feelings that I know are true
I believe with all my heart, that love is any color you want it to be
For a masterpiece painted with love, can be very special, for you and for me

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

"I believe with all my heart that love is any color you want it to be." Absolutely! The imagery and comparison between love and artist is beautifully written, Ken.
