What is love?

Love is

The

Tender hues of red

Woven unto silken petals of roses

Vivid against the fevered pale skin

Of couples in embrace

Twin hearts thudding

Wild, uncontrollable

Like the wildfire rising

A red tide in their chests

Yellow

Beautiful shades of the golden sunrise

A mesmerising sight

Unforgettable, intangible

Captured in essence by

Epics of literature

Sweet melodies

Prettier than paintings

Drawn lovingly with cautious hands.

The sapphire-blue of ocean waves

Rolling, 

Tumbling, 

Crashing 

Slowly, softly 

Against the shores

A gentle caress,

Fluid dance of two.  

White,

Honest, pure

The color of dandelions 

Wispy carriers of hope

Flown on the wings of wind

Weaving through interlaced fingers

As  they stand on the altar

Flowers the color of snow 

Scattered around them

Bells ringing in a distance

Seem a world away.

And their lips brush each other

And they kiss.

And they kiss

And they kiss

A delicate, sweet kiss.
