Feminine/Masculine poem

Colours in motion like thoughts.
Blue bangles break the silence,
Teal taxis shatter silver ice puddles,
The essence of sandalwood wafts through the cruiser.

A Flash of fuchsia,
And there she is.
Blood pumps like racing rubies.

Heart-beat, heart-beat, heart-beat…

Always ascher, never pear cut…
Heart-beat, heart-beat, heart-beat…
Give her rose quartz, red velvet cushions, maybe something blue
What comes in the horizon?

II
His black eyes pierce the window.
I wonder if his heart is that way too.
This one man may show his love to be,
Hopefully.

It feels as if a kilo of anxiety is upon my shoulders.

Heart-beat, heart-beat, heart-beat…

Colours, colours, colours…

This is the true Romeo and Juliet.

This is blind love.

does this have anything to do with an arranged marriage. i think i hear that subtext in the background. not sure though.i love the heart beat lines throughtout the poem. and the use of colored text to define blind love.
