shades of something spectacular
shiver softly within
to somehow come to light
previous colors so rarely revealed
like the sighed ohs' of newly viewed reds
and the ahs' of the woozy blues
along side the 'oooh la la's' of yellows
streaked with green
revealing a rainbow of such jostled joy
such jolt should accompany
all the arrivals of love
to the port of the human heart
but oh so rarely really do they ever do
many are left with a lot less color than their
own hearts would prefer
ah but you and I are truly the blessed ones
for we have the whole myriad
entire prisms in fact
displaying for us their full colors
so sensuously seated
in love's iconic allure......
