Colors of Love


The colors are wholesome—
Gingham and check,
Orange, avocado, and milk thistle blue.
We roll like two whales at play in the ocean
With little or nothing to do.
Skin on skin,
Ear to lip,
Whispers of loves gentle way,
Wrapped in a roll of pleasure's tease
Alone at the end of the day.

And the evening is peace
And love and joy,
And the lull of the whipporing loon
Rocks us to sleep,
In the throes of the deep,

Where morning comes much too soon.
