Analysis of Colors of My Love



Oh my love's a ravishing red rose in full bloom!
My love's pullulating diamond Jasmines in June!
My love's a scintillating raga in tranquil tune!
My love's a flaming ruby sunset on a sand dune!
My love's a gleaming golden sapphire-veiled moon!
My love's an unremitting eternal blissful boon!
My love's a coruscating painting in maroon!
My love's an engulfing torrent monsoon!
My love's a mellowing octave of a bassoon!
My love's a swelling hearty balloon!
My love's a sparkling emerald paradise lagoon!
My love's a glistening silky cocoon!
And oh my love's an alluring aroma of cardamom!
But oh love's the excruciating spines of a cardoon!
