Colors

When I look into your eyes I see love
Strange because the pupil is black
How do I see love in black?
You would wonder.
If it was red ,
the scientists would understand.
Red is a color of love, they say.

As we’re sitting under that tree
you love so much.
Delusional, but the smell of those green leaves
remind me of our stability
and how much our relationship has grown.

Did you have to bring that disgusting apple juice
that tastes like urine though!
Just know my tongue cannot take it for the rest of its life.

I pretend not to understand why
your face turns pink when I touch you.
I was told black men don’t blush.

When I hear the words
“I love you so much”
My face turns pink too
So, my ears totally understand don’t worry.

This picnic feels like a rainbow now,
Let’s go home my love.
