Love

Love’s flush with colour’s palette

dusted red with passion

it chases purple sunrise,

finds deep fuchsia pulsing

through my heart & when

we’re apart, yellow sorrow rises up

to stop me sinking.

Love comes in varied guises

changes madly day to day:

I see the starlight in your eyes

& wonder where it stems from.

Love makes no sense to others

what you believe you see in me

it’s a dream a fantasy, I’m hidden.

Love’s everywhere & nowhere

it spans the vastness of the earth

it animates four letter word

the word we live & die for.
