Palette

Palette

Caressed with gentle vision,
he dove deep into her shade.
Illumined, he saw a spectrum,
found her hues so betrayed.

Ashen lavender of sorrow,
spilled saffron in dreams.
Hindered turquoise adventures,
torn rose of fervent screams.

More than this he gathered,
he brushed her soul with art.
His heart’s strong, willing palette,
blending colors with a fresh start.

Amethyst gleam of dawn’s bliss,
marigold silk in unfolding day.
Shamrock pathways and butterflies,
     Sun’s ruby fire smolders away.
