Amor
April 30, 2019
Love is purple, but amor is red.
Red as the candle wax,
Still left on the window sill after last winter,
As the gentle blush of your cheeks
After a long day in the sun,
As the rustic wallpaper in the lady’s bedroom
Of an old, grand mansion.
Red as the lipstick that I wear
That comes off after mere minutes,
As the chipped-away nail polish
Still present on my fingernails,
As the bricks that I count
While I wait for you.
