Pink Motel Pink motel, pink bridal suite a cactus set against a toothpaste sky newlywed awkwardness in the August heat touchless and speachless together they lie on a bed they made together they polish their armor smiles for any kind of weather the sound of shoes shuffling on sunset tiles stepping on toes they silently dance in each other's embrace to 'God Only Knows' nervous laughter while their heartbeats race and oh how they blush, the carnation and rose painted on crooked grins, face to face two silhouettes set against the moonlight pale two become one in a pink motel Pink motel, pink Cadillac champagne stars streaking across the sky newlywed wanderlust never looking back the blushing flame of romance cannot die long as their hearts burn free hold fast to the rock of their love storms of marriage blow wildly the smell of a cement rain sunrise from above silence is found they softly cuddle in each other's embrace to 'Don't Let Me Down' eyes reflect back and forth in space and oh how they stare, baby blue and earthy brown painted on blissful smiles, face to face two silhouettes set against the sunlight pale two create one in a pink motel Pink motel, pink sunrise light up their door children looking for seashells along the shore she wonders if she's ready he tries to keep his hand steady the future is a blinding April sky she straightens his tie his arms around his one true salvation the distant roar of an oldies station pink Cadillac up for sale two making plans in a pink motel Check out time two silhouettes set against the sunrise pale two hearts one destination in mind as they look back for an instant at the pink motel two hearts with a long road to unwind but they'll be fine they'll be just fine Pink motel, pink bridal suite a cactus set against the toothpaste sky...

Makes me think of days gone by when life was less complex in say the 50's. But the basic concepts are timeless. I like the way you used color to accent your poem. ~L |
