...RED...

As she breathed deeply into the scented rose,
she remembered his words:
Only you, dear Ruby, are my love,
my life, the flower of my dreams,
the fire in my heart.

And she blushed as she gazed
into the flaming sunset,
the cherry blossoms wafting
onto her russet locks.

Yes, I always get a dreamy feeling when I read it.

sorry, my first thought was the name of a person because it was capitalized. It occured to me after I send the message that I got it all backwards.
