Twisted Colors

Amber, crimson, burnt orange
in lovers’ dance.
Arms extend, then wrap
fold into each other.

Interwoven hues
stirred to colorful mixture,
limbs entwine
fingers flutter.

Jaundiced oaks
fever-ridden maples
ironically infuse
a healthy glow.

Diverse shapes, sizes
jockey for position,
symbiotically join
bright, radiant luster.

Twisted colors
intermingle,
create a blanket
to bury worries.

Brittle and brown
last days pass,
the journey ends
as daylight folds.
