WHEN LOVE TURNS

when love is white
it's innocent
a baby in the wild
a slice of territory
unfamiliar to a child
one night the stars winked at the earth
the earth looked back and smiled
when love is white 
it's innocent
and not as yet, defiled
.
when love grows red
it's passionate
a hurricane, unfurled
with powers so dynamic
it could make or break your world
the stars get in your eyes
and then into their midst, you're hurled
when love grows red
it's passionate
the lip of danger, curled
.
when love turns blue
it's desolate
the stars have all gone dead
you're left with just the black of night
that burrows in your head
forget the white of innocence
regret the fire of red
when love grows blue
it's desolate
there's no more to be said
