The Colours of the Night

A sunset..... 
Gold and red 
Washed its' colours over you, 
as we lie upon our bed 

As thoughts spill......... 
Like the colour 
Bronze and gold 
It is you I fill........ 
It is you I hold 

Deepening red........ 
Upon our bed 
Evening sky....... 
Brings you to me, 
for here we lie 
You and I 
Colours to spill 
Colours to fill 

Colours gold and red 
Fading away 
instead.... 
Our night of play........ 
At the end of the day 

As you lie upon our bed........ 
The sky......... 
Soft pink and blue 
Here I lie with you......... 
Thoughts read 

Your love .... 
Washed its' colours over me 
Your sunset............ 
Soft and pink........ 
Given free.......... 
As I give to you........ 
The deepening colour hue 

Deepening purple and blue 
Covered me........... 
Covered you............ 
The covered night sky 
Deepening delight............ 
For you and I 

The night sky.......... 
Covered you and I 
The colours of the heart..... 
the colours of the night..... 
Made you sigh.....
