Like Poles Repel

Blue is not good enough.
The accent wall is cornflower blue, blankly gleaming.
The painting is of a woman, in blue and black and purple.
It is a modern artist's rendition of a bruise.
The rug on the floor is Oriental, maroon and three different blues
Navy/Robin/Periwinkle, intricate and expensively hideous.
The countertop is fake marble, blue and black and tan,
Attractive but mismatched.

Just because there is something in common,

Do not assume they match.

Color Wheel

It's Saturday night
And I am on the
Blue Rug
In your living room
Eagerly pulling off your
Red Sweater
With trembling fingers
While you leave
Purple Hickeys
On my neck.
