I'll paint for you a picture
With purples and with blues
I'll paint for you a love-song
In alternating hues
Orange from the flowers
Bright yellow of the sun
Green, blue, and indigo
From the river's run
Silver-lined stormclouds
Lend their colors to me
Plum, rich and vivid
Purple running free
But where is there a red
True enough for love?
Apples are far too pale -
I'll paint it with my blood.

this was a great poem
it really had me going i read it like 4 times
really, wow i loved it thanks for entering
i think the last line was just simply amazing! -
What an interesting emotional twist at the end!
I must say, very nicely done on this one!
You might think about trimming it here and there in places to preserve the simplistic, flowing style your lines represented.
Blessings,

But... but the red is there... it's in the last line.
Yes, everyone deserves that and more. Unfortunately, there are not too many couples that devoted.
