to keep good on my promise..

i love you in navy blue shadows
laid out on the sidewalk
i love you in the pasty yellow glow
of the moon covered in haze
i love you in the confines of the atmosphere
gravitating toward me
feet firmly planted
i love you in the ghostly hues of
early morning fog
i love you against the cottony pink sunset
all contrast and dimension
all here and now
nothing saved for later or spent too soon
just all and every and any and more
i love you in olive sheets that wrinkle
under our bodies
i love you in obscure shades
like mauve, lilac, chartreuse, and cerulean
and it never ends
the colors of the world
are pale and dull against your face
your body's landscape makes everything else
seem so boring
and you wonder why each touch is electric current
or ecstasy
there is no comparison
