Love possesses many different hues
From a brilliant red to deep blues
Feelings dictate the changing shades
Time may cause the colors to fade

Love usually starts out as pink
When one prepares to drink
For the first time from this cup
With the curiousity of a pup

Love can turn the brightest red
When you can't keep that someone out of your head
Just a look can make you blush
As your blood flows with a rush

Love can take on a pigment of passion
I imagine it to be purple in fashion
It burns with the intensity of a fire
Only one way to quench those desires

Love no longer aflame carries a blue tint
Because on your heart is its print
The mark of a feeling so sweet
You were almost burned by the heat

Love has many other tones
One is always with you even when you're alone
Look around and you will see
All the splendid colors that love can be

What a great description of love, from the infatuation at the start to the lonliness at the end, the reference to the different colors is marvelous. My vote for sure!

Take care.......ethome..
