Caroline Witherington - Colored Marks

Oh my love
I awaken and there you are
painted across my mind
in pastel colors
My love as I walk or sit
there you are penciled drawings
you mark my heart with your name

Oh my love do not starve this soul
or deprive it of you
For I'd rather drown in the deepest abyss
than live one moment without your peaceful presence
that makes charcoaled shadows all over my thoughts

Outline me in you
take colors and mark my flesh
blue for my heart when without
the red of your smiling lips
and the golden shine of your skin
and the ebony wonder within your sultry eyes

My love you are the dancing sunrise
splashing tangerine and apricot visions upon me
My love you are the sleepy sunset
cover me in midnight indigo and lavendar dreams....
