The Essence of You
My goal was to stroke your every emotion, so I went to a rose
garden seeking a flower that would please you. I played with
the shades of the rainbow. I traveled to Amazonian heights
and bathed in „virgin” river streams.
As you know, the journey to your mind has never been simple.
You are a very complex woman. The color that I need to find,
must range from the day you were born.
Should it be pink to tickle you? Should it be red? Should I
put traces of orange and yellow petals near your bed?
My hands are soaked with honey. My dinner has been the
soft and tender strains of delectable sugarcane. Now, with
such sweetness in me and a part of me, I am ready to make
my decision.
Please accept three stems of a full moon, three stems of
sparkling stars and three stems of a glowing sky.
Please accept one sunrise, one sunset and this room full of
Fuchsia roses. This is the color that I have chosen.
After searching my heart, I
believe this color captures the essence of you.
