Allow Me to Go Away in Love....

Let me leave 

Allow me to go away in love

With the orange

And the peach, pink and the red

Exactly like that red rose

Tucked away in my old diary

Withered yet so fresh 

Still alive to my touch

Brings in your fresh breath

That slithers down my neck

Smooth and silky

With the pit near my collar bones 

Turning a blooming pink

Pink like the flesh 

Of you and me 

Stuck together

Inseparable 

Yet separated 

By the dark 

The dark sooty black

Of prolongation 

I do not want to live 

With the ash and greys

And the browns 

Or the rusts 

Of monotony

That colour a gloom 

In my shimmery lovestory

Which sometimes fall off

Like dried paint 

Or the like the rust 

Of the closed iron doors

The same iron

That runs in my blood

Red and still fresh 

But encased in the grey 

Of our relationship 

Let me live 

With the old sherry red

The carmine and vermillion

Pink, orange and peach

For I suffocate in the dark

With the grey, brown and black around

Let me leave with my colours

To survive and thrive 

Away from this dark gloom

Allow me the pink of our love

The red of our passion

My love's fertile crimson space 

Allow me to go away in love
