Love is your color
it looks good on you
I never noticed
but it's true

I thought I'd seen everything
every shade of you

but love is your color

Joy is in your eyes
lights up the room
sunshine on water
can't compare to you

I thought I'd seen everything
every shade of you

but love is your color


*************** to be continued... add if you like.........could sure use some more picture lines.. (hint hint)

the stars cast like diamonds
upon the night sky
are lost in the sparkle
of love in your eyes

Jeffrey, if i may-

Moonbeams on new snow
Refections in your eyes
Your love begins to grow
As the new seasons arise

Jeffrey had a great line and I hope he doesn't mind.  If so my apologies to him.

silver as the lining on the clouds so high
golden as the summer wheat
as purple as passions sigh
carried on the scent of pink roses so sweet

or something like that!

Ok, since you mentioned that....


Love is your color
It shows in your smile
It lights up the room
That's been dark for such a while

I know this doesn't really keep to the beat of this , but maybe it helps a little

Love is your color
Kindling your soft soul
Igniting hearts match
Your flame glows brightly

This is a beautiful idea and you started off
with such tender thoughts~

Love is your color.
It's there in your smile and grace.
Lighting my darkest night into a brighter place.

Love is your color
Why couldn't I see
That sparkle in your eyes
When you were here with me

I like the original poem, think you should leave it as is, short sweet and such.  THe hook, love is your color, good good.  One thing about love poems though, it's easy to let them be a bit airy, and fluffy to the point that many love poems use the same metaphors etc...a truely effective love poem is one that only you could write, without moonbeams and other things which sound pretty but really hold no meaning.  That's just my own opinion.

love is your color
your skies are all blue
I'd spend all my wishes
for one moment with you

love is your color
your aura so rare
gentle breezes surround you
and play with your hair

love is your color
it drives me insane
your eyes mesmerize me
and kindle my flame

not sure which direction you want to go

Ok, Kay-Lynn, We can do this, just give it a little time  

Love is your color
It brings out your eyes
Gives them that sparkle
Like stars in a sky

Well, not quite what I wanted to say but it'll have to do for now
