what would it be?

if you had a color, your fave,
what would it be?
the hue of yearning, with just
a tint of completion?
maybe a slight persimmon of lust,
an early-birth of love?
perhaps an amber tone of appreciation
with a dab of glaring titanium white.
or pink like a meshbag
filled with baby toes?
