If I Came To You...

If I came to you 
wearing only 
iridescent shades 
of my love 
infused with 
warm tones 
of friendship 
gentle strokes 
of affection 
shimmering waves 
of admiration 
flaming heat 
of passion

If I came to you thus, 
my love 
would you step into 
my kaleidoscope 
of sensations
or spurn 
the rainbow 
of emotions 
Embrace 
the light 
or retreat 
into the dark 
for fear 
of being blinded 
by my ardour 

Would you open 
your heart 
and let me in 
or protect it
from me
Live for 
the moment
or choose 
a lifetime 
of regret
