I was colorblind
And I’ve yet to see a splash of color
Vivid as your mind
A shade of coral like no other.
That pretty smile
Paints the walls of rooms into rainbows
As blue as Nile
And as red as a heart any man may know
Just as the sun
You are bursting with an orange fire
A loaded gun
You are black powder loaded for hire.
Every wildflower
Lays a yellow pedal at your feet
As a reminder
That brilliance can be seen.
Never may I ever
See someone else just as beautiful
However severed
May I never see another color dull.
In greener days
I’ve yet to find something so true
In so many ways
I love every last hue in you.

I'm not nor have I ever have been one to create love or affection-inspired writing, but this one is one of the very few I've ever been somewhat proud of.
