your eyes are crafted
from the cloudy skies
that are undecided
and uncertain
but continue to shine
high above the mortals
your lips were crafted
from the red of the dawn
those first tendrils of light
are a deep blood red
that coat the dark sky
and promise a new day
your lungs were crafted
from the exhaled smoke
that clouds your vision
and blurs your mind
you know you're awake
but you feel like it's a dream
your bones were crafted
from an untarnished bronze
that is unbreakable
and unconquerable
nothing can hurt you
for you are too strong
your soul was crafted
from a misty silver
that contains all the
shades of gray,
all the in between spaces
that only you know
your heart was crafted
from a perfect gold
never broken
but always cracked
for you have loved before
and never received any of your own
for all your
clouded blues
and blood reds
and gray smoke
and untarnished bronze
and misty silver
and perfect gold
-you are all my favorite colors
