Brownstone with Doorway

It’s monochromatic; just brown to be seen,
Not a red, not a blue,
Not a varying hue,
Not a hint of an aquamarine!
Yes, there might be a tan or a green here and there,
And maybe a black or a yellow somewhere,
And maybe a grey or a pink but I swear
There is nothing at all in between.
But wait! Up those stairs, it looks like a light!
Could it be that something’s expected tonight?
There’s a dweller within! Things are not so clear-cut,
The door isn’t closed, only partially shut.
It’s not just a door, but a portal, that’s what!
Just inches away is a magic domain
With promises waiting, with dreams to regain
There's a love to revive with a soul to redeem
With peaches, and oranges and berries and cream.
