red
is passionate.
red
is beautiful.
a radiance
dancing through
different shades,
different wonders.
the seductive fragrance
of a rose.
the accelerating beat
of a lusting heart.
the sweetness
of a strawberry.
the acidity
of a juicy tomato.
a dotted ladybug
caressing
the tree’s fingertips.
a glossy red apple.
and all I want
is a small sample
of the color red
through the means
of your broken head,
dripping with that
wondrous tint
a bloody red
