Red

By Silver Snowberry

-

:- Crimson, scarlet, ruby, burgundy -:
:- Carnation, carmine, and the saccharine cherry -:
:- Oxblood, damask, maroon, garnet -:
:- Vermilion, wine, and the deep claret -:

:- Passion, petulance, and the soulful romance -:
:- Fiery, impulsive, and angry vengeance -:
:- Mixed emotions powdered with bitter confusion -:
:- Chaotic, quick-tempered yet unique new creation -:

:- Can be seen surfacing on our skin when wounded -:
:- Can be seen lusciously veiling an apple -:
:- Can be seen on the thick, full mouths of models -:
:- Can be seen floating freely in our own soul -:
