The Colors of a Kiss

Once before I tried to paint

Using all these vivid colors

From cherry red and tangerine

Midnight blue and apple green

This palette has never looked so pretty

It's colors mystifying

I'll pick a hue and paint a picture

Of the kiss I love so dearly.



Will it be a sunny yellow? Maybe,

For this kiss brightens up my day

Or will it be an emerald green

Full of hope as I dream?

A dazzling white seems also fitting

Pure as snow, magical and exciting

Or a sexy black and passionate red

Or wine-colored kisses full of daring.

Then, I glimpse the sapphire sky and sea

And think of you surrounding me,

The very essence of eternity,

A blue kiss that sets me free.



So I picked my brush and poised a stroke

But artistry still can't decide,

What are the colors of a kiss?

They're of shades undefined

A kaleidoscope of sensations,

As bright as life.
