The Promise

Enshrined on tapestry crimson, ruby Purple love scintillates orchid dreams Flaunting sensuality of magical appeal Waltzing sweet melodies of romance; Oh, fondly I recall our first kiss now-- It was the promise of amethyst dawn! Swaying in colors of pink, red tulips Love in the prairies of yellow daffodils Setting its sights upon indigo iris Dazzles verdant fields on butterfly wings; Oh, playfully I recall the allure of tease-- It was the promise of vibrant spring! Embrace of love on the opulent horizon Watching orange glow dip in the ocean Glittering emotions as gilded waves beckon Spurs in twilight arousal of passions; Oh, gaily I recall the crush of nightfall-- It was the promise of quixotic sundown! Love yearning for blazing red meadows Whirling desires fiery amber, brown Gazing at fervor of mulberry evening Seduces your aura, caressing feelings; Oh, happily I recall the dalliance of fall-- It was the promise of autumnal awe! But the promise I treasure adoringly now Was enunciated in the epigram of stars By the prophecy of moon scripted above; Oh, intimately I recall bliss of Shangri-la-- It was the promise of two loving hearts!
