Colourfication

As an aureolin daybreak streams through the window,
I waken to the face of my beloved in wisteria repose.
Long locks of charcoal hair, silver-streaked,
have fallen through the night across his tranquil face.
Tenderly I move them to the side, 
                                          then gently stroke his cheek.

His eyes flutter open, revealing bright turquoise.
Those amazing eyes probe the emerald depths of mine.
Then reaching out, he pulls me to his chest.
In his arms I am smooth magnolia 
                                         against his taut and sturdy trunk.

Next to his heart, I can hear its steadfast pulse begin to quicken.
Persimmon, our excitement blossoms. 
I taste his eager mouth and start to move my hips.
His lips and his fingers know my secret places and desires.
They travel, feather soft, along my body.
Fantastic will be the crescendo to our crimson climax
followed by the lingering in its aftermath
                                                               of fuchsia bliss.
