Oh my love <br />I awaken and there you are <br />painted across my mind <br />in pastel colors <br />My love as I walk or sit <br />there you are penciled drawings <br />you mark my heart with your name <br /> <br />Oh my love do not starve this soul <br />or deprive it of you <br />For I'd rather drown in the deepest abyss <br />than live one moment without your peaceful presence <br />that makes charcoaled shadows all over my thoughts <br /> <br />Outline me in you <br />take colors and mark my flesh <br />blue for my heart when without <br />the red of your smiling lips <br />and the golden shine of your skin <br />and the ebony wonder within your sultry eyes <br /> <br />My love you are the dancing sunrise <br />splashing tangerine and apricot visions upon me <br />My love you are the sleepy sunset <br />cover me in midnight indigo and lavendar dreams....<br /><br />Caroline Witherington<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/colored-marks/
