Colours of Love

Crimson of the dawn-dipped sun,
Melting blue of the heavenly sky,
Blushed pink of a new bride,
Pure saffron of a meditating monk,
Sublime purple of the fallen royalty,
White innocence of a baby's laughter,
A tinge of green from budding leaves.
Beloved! 
Smear me with your many splendoured love.
Jealous Time can wait
And its seven fanged ferocity.

Delightful. I love the marrying of color to characters such as monk meditating and baby laughing. Great job!
