Drunk with colors

color me summer

lips

to cheeks

amber-stained

arm

to fingers

 green tea-sipped, sugar-licked

sky dazzles 

drunken blue 

we gaze, without words

as colors drink

our skin

craving for sun's fever

& when you kiss me

rain-dust drenched

i turn 

softer than tulips

nibbled-pink 

neck

to 

toes

The ripening

You

seeped in my bones & cracks

shades

of color I never knew

burst

violet ash black, magenta fire storm, deep rusted orange

Words

keen & deadly came kneeling

red

appled leaves climaxing before dying

Your

skin darkly yellowed & smoked, a midnight feast 

I embraced 

subversive dyes, wicked hues, riotous tints  

On canvas

they pulse sharp as bleeding rose, thorns 

amputated   

& thirsty for spring's greening  

Kiss

me, restless & unknotted

You

Painting love

she wanted to put a little color in their room
paint a tinge of red for drama in the walls
and maybe a bit of yellow for sunshine at the edges
it was after all her favourite colors


he thought it would look better if it was all in blue
with a hint of white and maybe green at one side
he wants to imagine they are making love under the sky 
plus these were his favorite colors

throwing a fit, she became redder than a red tomato  
he turned cold like blue ice and grabbed the brushes away 
they argued until the tins of colors spilled 
smeared with paint, they stroked each other to madness    

well it turned out that all of the colors look lovely
when it was all mixed up in the bed, staining the sheets
glowing, glistening, bold, vibrant, seductive, passionate
nothing in black and white nor gray,   that's them ~

I see a

as you

my little world.
