A certain shade of lavender
brings my mind back to you
and the many colors you became
on your way to blue.
The ugly red, fading to pink.
The pink itself inviting.
The fade through pale going on
to something more exciting.
The ashen, then the less than white.
I looked as you lay dieing.
You wanted this so bad, my love.
Why ever are you crying?
Did you suppose I’d stop you, love,
from having your desire?
Lavender looked good on you
though I will miss your fire.

Sometimes, death has some color, as well.
