iridescent

you roll the mornings

between your fingers

just like cigarettes,

dissolve them in a cup

of ultramarine coffee

and drink them bitterly

I love you when you are

dark and twisty

and I can see the whole

universe blinking at me

throughout your sapphire eyes

at noon you put on

the denim jeans

and dive into the teal seas

trying to save the iris souls

of those who are pretending

that are not blue at all

you take little pieces of azure

from the sky itself

to sew all the tears

on their periwinkle skin

at midnight

we pour cyan drinks

in tall glasses

reflecting the indigo lights

of the cerulean city

and just drink…

till morning comes

with a crimson sunrise

and the vermilion heads

of the poppies open up

to the warmth of your

rusty hands

we eat raspberry cheesecake

that you prepare slowly

dressed only in a cerise apron

days like these are soft

like rose petals

and I write about them

with scarlet letters

whilst drinking wine

in the end of the day

we cuddle up under

a lust blanket…

next day starts mellow

sun beams wake us up

and the khaki walls

of our apartment

seem golden to us

you shook the

homemade lemonade

by mistake

and now the orange

sheets are all sticky

and sugary

just like your skin

under my lips…

we compliment the taste

with a pinch of mint

and you go out with the spring

noon meets you at work

with boring asparagus soup

which is supposed to be

healthy and all green

but don’t worry

the evening will find us

with ice, gin and limes

or martini and olives for me…

anyways

you are rainbows to me.
