Colors

All colors are feelings, emotions, games of the heart.
So let's start. 
 
I'm brown like fertile soil
Preparing to be planted next to you,
growing united, so true.

I'm dreary blue,
When ur not by my side,
Yearning for you to be inside.
If I said I didn't desire you,
I know I lied!

I'm a groovy purple,
Relaxed in your arms with content,
Breathing in your enchanting scent.

I'm a cowardly yellow,
Not screaming, 
I'm in love,
Like a crazed, insane fellow.

Red hot heat, 
anticipates our next encounter,
Daydreaming of you,
Each passing hour.

I'm tickled pink, 
When u kiss me in my special spot,
Even though I told u trouble would start!

I'm green with envy over the inventor of the clock,
How come he didn't add a hand 
for time to stand still,
With a giant lock.

All colors are feelings, emotions, games of the heart,
Your body the canvas,
I'm the paint and brushes,
So, let's start!

Interesting idea. Emotions can be expressed through colours--painters do it all the time. (I spell colours like so because I am English).
