Notes About The Poem

The Perfect Couple

They were the perfect couple
like two colors of one flame
both a little different
both a little bit the same

She was a bright yellow
sparks from her would fly
flashing for a moment 
before disappearing in the sky

His color burned as bright
but with its own distinctive hue.
it was a little more restrained
being the color blue

She had no trouble saying , “I love you.”
without reservations
without fears.
Her words flashing for a moment
before resting on his ears.

Though he felt his love as strongly
his words wouldn’t alway rise
yet she heard them in his smile
and saw them in his eyes
 
They were the perfect couple
two colors in the night
two colors creating one love
one flame
forever burning bright.
