I am...
Tiger blood,
scarlet stains on morning marmalade.
Sweet sangria signs,
amber flames licking the evening sky.
She is...
Golden Tuscan sun,
dandelion fire on a bright afternoon.
Biscotti blonde beacons,
porcelain stars staining the night.
They are...
Iridescent sapphire,
arctic Aegean shades on a gentle setting sun.
Sharp azure stones,
cobalt slate waves disrupting the night.
We are...
Marigold’s mind, ebony eyes.
Lilac lips, honey heart.
Pearl-in-ink.
Fog, flint, flame.
