Red Rover

I burned my tongue on caramel coffee Though it could be from lies of omission Doesn’t stop mocha me from talking Or my emerald eyes from violet vision He loves me sweet he loves me hot Lilac lips like lava lilies lemon lures Freeing fluorescent fear thinking not Hopeful heart seeks red love as cure We make peculiar purple passion flowers Blooming despite lack of light lack of showers We can teal talk mentally walk for hours Is it luscious lust or liquid love giving powers I’m too old to waste white wine energy Yet I find silver strength turquoise time He’s much more than a fuchsia friend to me Dropping helium hints the marrying kind This relationship is like a steam ship That moves forward like a slow tango Every time I say it’s over biting lip I find it doesn’t decline but it grows I’m not sure I’m the marrying kind Rather ruined by life in some ways I’ve tried to show him but he is blind I guess he is stubborn and has faith If time is a test we have had a year I’m just not ready for marriage dear Red rover red rover send courage over For the fire of desire burns steady slower
