I taste the richness of your MAHOGANY skin
Bask in the FUZZY WUZZY BROWN of your glow
Stare into your CHESTNUT eyes
And see the RED ORANGE of your ancestry,
The expanse of what makes you SUNSET ORANGE beautiful
Your MELON is a compliment to your melanin
The OUTRAGEOUS ORANGE of your bravado that I drink in
Until I see VIVID TANGERINE kisses with no tongue
BURNT SIENNA upon your flesh after we lay in the sun
BROWN is beautiful but an understatement to what is you
SEPIA seeps into your feet that you carry in your shoes
Picking the ORANGE of your smile in a crowded room
And when you see me, how your BURNT ORANGE blooms
The amazing COPPER of your people, your ancestry
Mixed with the MANGO TANGO of your immediate family
Introduce me to the matriarch ATOMIC TANGERINE
And the patriarch BEAVER as he adores his lovely queen
They lay down ANTIQUE BRASS and create a scene
In the DESERT SAND of a lover’s dream
The RAW SIENNA of your high cheekbones stand out
The TUMBLEWEED is a beautiful thing, to be talking about
Like how when you TAN, new heights you seem to reach
Your flesh hairy and amazingly beautiful like a PEACH
Around the table of love, second help of MACARONI and CHEESE
From Aunt APRICOT who always aims to please
That NEON CARROT cake that never disappoints
And the ALMOND incense that fills up the joint
YELLOW ORANGE bellows down the hall
As the sun sets and GOLD lit the sky in the final call
The beauty is in the SHADOW of that sight
As the BANANA MANIA of the little people rises at night
You read a story that makes your niece and newphew SUNGLOW
The dimpled GOLDENROD of their whole hearts show
In those moments, I’d be DANDELION if I didn’t you
That you happened to YELLOW across my heart and let me grow
We chase the highs of the each day’s GREEN YELLOW
And lay in the SPRING GREEN of tonight’s mellow
It makes the OLIVE GREEN of your hard work so attractive
And how you attack the LASER LEMON of life, proactive
Nothing is ever to hard to UNMELLOW YELLOW,
Never one to raise your voice, your CANARY can yel-low
You have the keen ability to INCH WORM into my spirit
Calm the ASPARAGUS of butterflies fluttering, do you hear it?
Your lips taste like my GRANNY SMITH APPLE
The ELECTRIC LIME in the receiving line at the chapel
Has me SCREAMIN GREEN when I need to see your face
The FERN flows from your mouth at a steady pace
We embrace every FOREST GREEN thing that is thrown at us
Even when it makes us sick to even have to SEA GREEN cuss
Trips to the MOUNTAIN MEADOW of a long weekend
The SHAMROCK is just our luck, lovers and friends
Each time we cross the JUNGLE GREEN of this here life
You are the happiest CARIBBEAN GREEN with a queen as
A TROPICAL RAIN FOREST of a wife
I am her, and she is the PINE GREEN in me
You trace your seed, makes our ROBIN EGG, BLUE
AQUAMARINE fills the space used to make love
Lying on the floor of TURQUOISE BLUE below
Only to graze at the SKY BLUE up above
Your love rockets me to OUTER SPACE
In between the BLUE GREEN of an out-of-body place
Is this really the expanse of the emotional PACIFIC BLUE
So melodic, this CERULEAN, reminders of me and you
Legs strong like the stalks of a CORNFLOWER
As the MIDNIGHT BLUE in the midnight sky in the midnight hour
Propels us to tell the truth in the worst NAVY BLUE
Anything that gets me out my DENIM and on top of you
A BLUE Monday of memories, a weekend has passed
I want you to PERIWINKLE the twinkle out my a$$
I assumed as a CADET BLUE we would keep it pg
Knowing the pep of my INDIGO feet, follow your lead
You are the stop of my WILD BLUE YONDER
Basking in the MANATEE MAGIC, take a minute to ponder
How at the ding of your BLUE BELL
You pump me with more seed, to make my BLUE VIOLET swell
That in turn makes my PURPLE HEART swell
We are the kind of ROYAL PURPLE that seeps in the cracks
With the PURPLE MOUNTAIN’S MAJESTY across our backs
Never met a VIOLET (PURPLE) whose melanin lacked
A cut above the others, WISTERIA soul that can’t be jacked
In the VIVID VIOLET of my mind I knew it, that someday
I had to infuse ya, the way FUSCHIA made a way
For your spoken word to make a SHOCKING PINK
In the PINK FLAMINGO room where the conscious go to think
And expand, sipping our PLUM wine
Me on the stage in my HOT MAGENTA, trying to make you mine
The PURPLE PIZAZZ of my boldness
Only fuels the fire, and confirms that RAZZLE DAZZLE ROSE officially owns it
Room full of a fragrant ORCHID
No one can ever do my RED VIOLET the way you did
And the way your EGGPLANT do what it always do
Tears of CERISE when you slide on through
WILD STRAWBERRY candles set the mod every time
Picking up the MAGENTA of another dope rhyme
Locked and loaded in my LAVENDER fields
You allow yourself to explore the COTTON CANDY in my hills
The way I turn every VIOLET RED trick
Enter the folds of my CARNATION PINK and allow me to swallow the d!ck
RAZZMATAZZ in the motion of what lovers really do
My PIGGY PINK will never ever tire of the whole of you
Your flaws taste like JAZZBERRY JAM , I better hush
Each time I speak of our love, my melanin…BLUSH
If they were misinformed, you really TICKLE ME PINK
Manifested in the scope of my PINK SHERBET, you I only drink
MAROON volumes of your right hemisphere quickly create
The amazing RED, and the RADICAL RED is best to date
MAUVELOUS across my body like stretch marks
Extracting the wetness of my WILD WATERMELON parks
I again blush SCARLET
I wasn’t your wife, I’d be s SALMON harlot
BRICK RED, stay on 10 only for you
Knowing with this garden variety, plain WHITE could never do
But I release your inner TIMBERWOLF in the dead of night
I send myself into SILVER shivers in the heat of moon light
Just like that, we return to our 120 shades including GRAY
That decadence of our intertwined BLACK bodies as we lay
in the wake of our unrequited love.
