Red is the colour of blood And of a precious gemstone. A reminder of your love and affection, And a comforting touch of your lips. Orange bursts with warmth and amity, A ceaseless longing for adventure. It is the colour of autumn leaves, A flame that dances through your hair. Yellow is the colour of the sun, And the flowers that follow it. Unyielding in its brilliance, And a reminder of your smile. Green boasts balance and harmony, A natural desire for growth and peace. It is the hope of a new beginning, As the flowers bloom in spring. Blue is the colour of the ocean, And the firmament that hangs above. It is the calmness and trust reflected When your eyes meet mine. Indigo is the quiet mark of wisdom, Prestige and your unwavering integrity. Like the depth of the midnight sky, Endless in mystery yet wondrous to behold. Violet is the colour of amethyst, And flowers like lavender. Modest and serene in nature, How could I not have given my heart?
