my love, once a chameleon green
changed shapes, fought hard not to be seen shrank into a shallow shamrock dream seeking out a four leaf clover my love, once a jazzy blue learned songs and scales it never knew it sought the sky but stuck like glue to an uncertain ocean lover i've taken to the color wheel to repaint the walls of how i feel my canvas is a heart that needs to heal but aren't all works in progress works of art still my love, now a honey gold smacks of sweetness somehow subtly bold rises sunny to thaw out the cold setting with a gentle hover my love, now a crimson red bleeds deeper than it's ever bled as plump as kissed lips, freshly wed fills to the top and spills right over
