What Color Might I Make my Gift?

Compose A Love Sonnet Contest Winner 

What color might make warm your cooling heart?
Should I pour crimson petals on your sheets,
or would a wine from purple grapes impart
the ardent wish which in my bosom beats?

Could I entice with golden threads of silk
wove into yards of pale champagne brocade,
or would chiffon as creamy white as milk
help find the love you lately have mislaid?

Perhaps a peacock feather's sapphire blue
encased in emerald green might please your eye.
I'd pull a rainbow from the sky for you
if that is what it takes to draw you nigh.

To you I offer gifts in every shade,
and pray from them a true love will be made.
