Foolish Hope

I'm red when you touch me

and pink when you love me

I'm blue when you leave me

and yellow when you reach for me


a shade of magenta

as your lips meet mine

and purple as red skin

meets my blue


a lovely tint of rose

when you smile that smile

and the brightest of yellows

when you call yourself mine


But the deepest grey ensues

when you leave for good

but not yet black

for I foolishly hope, yet
