Colombian

 PAD challenge Day 19: make a color the title of your poem.

If I had to choose

only one hue from life’s color spectrum

it would have to be you

…You who rouses me from sleep

in aromatic pleasantries

Let others steep virtuous green teas

I prefer you; Platonist teaser

of Colombian romance

filling my taste-buds

with morning’s first dance

I close my eyes now

…ah yes, supple and slow

you unleash the miracle

of Colombian glow

not in the east

or past hills to the south

but swallow

after swallow

in my mouth
