Blues Turn to Green 



In the yellows which simmer in your mind

When color starts to fade from view in a kind

Of moire - as fabric you have made becomes torn

And ripples across the horizon causing waves to form



Blue turns to green and the aquamarine life bubbles

Then I sense the longing in your heart becomes trouble

For you have changed the colors of the branches' leaves

And as I focus my lens on your heart ... there is a breeze



As leaves fall after turning yellow or red and then brown

My life turns on thoughts which you send to me around

The beauty within you - it blends in so well with the fall

As I gaze out the window watching those trees so tall



Blending in their greens, yellows and browns with blue

Knowing well those colors which represent me and you

The brown of your full eyes gaze back at me so intently

As yellow leaves amass outside in driveway and gently



I consider the art and passion expended loving your body

So many fall colors are exhibited without anything shoddy

The completeness with which you love me is indeed fine art

I'm astounded by how intense it all is ... my mind's eye smarts



For we're apart in a world in which we're so very close together

And the loving we share is intended to hold us close in a tether

Of rope burns which tear up and inflame our loins to the brink

As fluids flow so completely as they strengthen all of my ink



When we're apart ... all I can think of is the passion we expend

As we give ourselves so totally to each other - there is no end

Loving you invariably becomes such an absolute and total joy

There is sacrifices to be made, but when together - I'm your toy
