Rose-Colored Love Poem

I bought some dark pink legal pads
(I tire of yellow and white); I hoped
for inspiration to move me to pen
some great romantic poetry, but
it was nothing but tinted paper.

Then I thought of you.

And it transformed into pink satin sheets
in my hands, smooth and clean,
cool crisp lines throbbing with love colors,
begging my attentions, existing only
to await my pleasure.
