22. Ballad of Green & Red
It’s green for you and black for me
Each color plays its part
It’s green for you and black for me
The icon of each heart
Then I met you and you met me
There at the waterfall
How I touched you and you touched me
We never touched at all
Green for you has always been true
But black for me’s too cold
Your green awoke my dreaming soul
Exposing color bold
It’s green for you, now red for me
A tender rose unfurled
The green of you with the red of me
Blossoming in the world
My attempt at a ballad in common meter for a prompt "Red".
