the color of us

let’s share this together,

valentine,

 

petals

more

than

deep blush

 

at your sip,

at my touch

 

see how

we’ve changed

the color

of us

 

yellow sunset to

crème de violette,

 

turn me

scarlet,

valentine

 

your elderflower,

my honey,

mix better

than wine—

 

let’s

take our time,

no rush,

 

moonblue to

citrus spice—

 

cool,

until touched,

 

see how

we’ve changed

the color

of us
