The Color Of Love


What is the color of love per se
is it heart pumping red 
that gets to  your head 
or crimson velvet like my chalet 

How shall I sketch and paint you 
should I outline you in opaline  
or trace you in soft green 
can I easily blend in with you

Do we make a picture perfect painting 
for all eyes to see
     or is it just you looking at me 
don't mind me... if I do a little tinting

What color is love when it sits alone  
does it reflect every shade 
              of your personal parade 
is it hard to hold, or easily atoned  

What is the color of love ? Tell me. 

    

Note: Per se  is a latin word.  It means, "By Itself"
