Rose Pink Lips of Sparkling Dew

Rose Pink lips of sparkling dew.
Green eyes filled with love gazing at you
Ruby red, the blood surges through my heart
Blue, I am when we are apart.

Yellow that shimmers and shines as pure gold
White sheets where the lovers dance, or so I am told
Black is the chariot that brings me to you
While you gallop along with your armour of blue

Deep brown oh sweet nectar that energy revives
Drinking our fill together we strive
To dance the dance of true love with you
With rose pinks lips of sparkling dew.
