Red

Red is such a romantic and distressing color.
It's the color of blood, flowers, hair and such.
Poppies and Poinsettia's are such lovely red.

I think it'd be romantic to get poinsettia's,
the Christmas flower.
I love poppies too,
no matter the sorrow they have seen.

I once had red socks.
My hair has been a deep red.
I've fallen in love with the color.

It's the color that seeps from my skin.
It's the color painted on lives every day.
It's the color that sticks out.
It's a color of life.
It's the color of passionate love.

When I see you or think of you I'm painted red.
My cheeks burn red.
During those sweet moments or during the cold winter.
I color my lips red like blood.
Let's paint the roses red.

You're my sweet.
I love you.
I'm burning red.
