Colors of Love

Deep within my hidden pastel dreams are soft sweet colors of a newborn spring dressed up in mauves and pinks and windham creams while giving hope to love and all it brings. Painted in the colors of the dawn, like pinks and purples of the morning sky, magenta dreams will bloom and love will spawn as newly mated hearts begin to fly. And thus our lilac love has taken flight while sharing orchid thoughts without remiss; soft words and fuchsia touches in the night are punctuated with a crimson kiss. The coral sun rays beaming from above are raining down these colors of our love. October 23, 2024 Poem of the Day - October 25, 2024

Dear John, this is beautiful, how youve used colors throughout is absolutely gorgeous and left in awe mesmerised not just by the colors but also by the cadence and how youv painted imagery has a soft and captivating touch to it, I especially love the couplet at the end, “The coral sun rays beaming from above are raining down these colors of our love.” Always love a stunning ending! One of those poems i wish would never end, because of how gorgeous it is, congratulations on your win~
