What's the Color of Love

Valentines' day
always has a way
of making red
color to be 
its lead
trademark

Even with the
trademark's
screaming popularity,
I beg to differ
because no one has
ever seen the true
color of Love

Can the color be white
because of the light
of Peace Love brings
into our lives?

Can the color be pink
because of the mask-
less beauty that
radiates from Love?

Can the color be orange
because of the endurance
we sustain in our hearts
as arrows of hurts
come on our way?

Can the color be yellow
because of the joy
and happiness 
that comes about
because of the presence
of Love?

Can the color be purple
because of the mysteries
that Love brings to people
deep within them,
when they are passionate
for each other
in the form of fights,
suicides and elopements?

Can the color be gold
because of the old
experiences on romances that
give us wealth of wisdom
in the form of Love?

.......Can the color of Love
lie in the beholder's eyes?
