Pen and paper, darling, dear,
sketch the outline of his heart
and smudge with fingers
softly so
into eternity.

Join red and orange, yellow,
blended in with happiness
to fill the empty core
of a heart in need of more.

Feather in some purple,
spirit psychology,
vibrantly alive
in the ether of its dreams
and fade slowly into cream
for the gentleness of feel.

Green for the umbrella
heart places over strife,
brown for solid earth
as a symbol of its worth.

Dot it gold for passion,
silver for respect,
and frame with shades of the blue
in honour of its views.

“And for love?” she asks aloud
but no colour can be found
for love is always now
and will forever be
boldly and unashamedly …
utterly transparent!

Martie and Susan - Thank you! I guess this pretty much knocks all the red Valentine hearts out of the ball park. What on earth would they sell for monetary profit?
