Color Possibilities in Love
Jeremiah 17:9
Love’s color is the color only God
Knows. Maybe it is like a red unseen
By human eyes. If they could see its odd
Refraction through a prism, sexed or clean,
The tint would wither from discovery.
The human heart is wicked. This we know.
There could not be complete recovery
If human sin placed this one red on show.
Love’s color might be blue as swan song’s breath
Or like a melody from hummingbirds.
Our spirit cores suspect that hue loves death
Like lovers’ lungs, struck pairs becoming birds.
We never think that color might be black
Like angles on a slithering diamondback.
