Lily pad of Love

My mind drifts back
To red times we've had
Healing happy lime laughs
Revealing shining over anything sad

Magical how one word from you
Colors me whatever you choose
From lamenting lemon to maroon
All based on love so true

You are my favorite song
I sing you all day night long
U write me pink passionate poems
Invite me to dream along

We don't have much in hand
But rich in heart with romance
By time design holding hand
Spirit so cheery we freelance

No bars no cars only white stars
Can showcase our love bizarre
We cruise like cotton clouds so vast
Upon our lovely lime lily pad

This is a beautifully creative poem. It avoids the usual sentimentality that characterizes love poems but employs colorful images that effectively describe the experience of being in love. The "red times," "lime laughs," "lamenting lemon to maroon," "white stars," and "lovely lime lily pad." Excellent writing! Well done Karen.
