The Shades of Love

Folder: 
Poems in Colors

The shades of love are variations of the colors Red, Orange, Pink, and Yellow

(don’t question the colors; question the different shades of love)

I begin with the color Red; passion, vibrant, rich, blood, leaves stains if spilled on—the same tone of red could mean the end of love and the beginning to a lover’s quarrel;

I want my love interest to stay Red until the end; the shades of Red are lies in a relationship;

The shades of Red begin with Alizarin ending with Scarlet, 34 shades in all;

I’ll kiss Red lips over Magenta lips any day.

The color Orange represents optimism, it uplifts and rejuvenates our spirits—it’s a color of adventure and social communication;

falling in love is a risk represented by the color Orange:

The shades of Orange begin with Amber and 42 shades later ends with Vermilion;

all shades of Orange remind me of Thanksgiving or ‘Massacre of the Natives.’

A Pink love is a love you want to keep;

Pink is compassion, nurturing, an unconditional love, understanding with no questions to ask:

  All 36 shades of Pink are desired; from Amaranth to Ultra Pink; most women love the color Pink; real men wear Pink.

Yellow can be the love you doubt as double meanings are found with Yellow;

the color means mind and intellect; yet suggest impatience, criticism, and cowardice:

21 shades of Yellow from Pearl Star to Golden Path can become fire and ignite the passion if you add Red to the love you render—The shades of love vary with personalities;

What’s your shade of love?
