Russell Sivey Poet Sonnet

Orange Passion

Light by the fire, through orange colored glass
Sienna and burnt umber encompass
The shades in the spectrum of excitement
And passion exudes within anointment

It excites the soul to command delight
Her heart alights with sensual insight
In desire lays kisses beyond belief
Through passion I feel the greatest relief

Orange invigorates the soul to last
Fire warms the body for love’s prideful cast
The candle burns with ecstasy inside
Leaving us to peel our grudges aside

Through the colored glass of lovely passion
Feel the heat of the flame’s hot emission

Poet Tacito August 21, 2013 at 8:41 AM Orange is an underappreciated color. You flipped the presence & definiton of this color on its head! A wonderfully expressed set of stanzas filled with desire & classy urges!
