The Color of You

La couleur de toi repose sur mes lèvres

roll with me, dear desire 
wrapped in close knit harmony
tongues danced, amidst the dialect
quenching mellow thoughts of me

crimson tips towards cinnamon
hunger breached a breathless breeze
autumn holding to her fragile leaves
grasped with innocence, one last tease

the color of you lies upon my lips
composed in the shelters of time
whispers, promise an extra kiss
folding this empty heart of mine

Such a beautiful poem, Tim, and I especially love the ending stanza where the French line at the start "The color of you rests upon my lips" is repeated. Regards // paul

The color would be blue, spoken through crimson lips that were untrue. That's enough to empty a heart once filled with love. Nice sentiments, Tim.
