The Red Poem
Red the color of
love
blood and
anger
Red the lips
that both kiss you tenderly
and spew out ugly words of hatred and evil
Red the rose
with a glorious fragrance of heaven
and thorns that shriek “pain” to your flesh
Red the carpet
that both the elegant and stately queen steps on
and the black-clad assassin with the silver poisoned knife
Red the heart
full of desperate helpless love in your chest
and the anger of a thousand wrongs pressing for sweet revenge
Red the fire
a leaping dancing entity of bright beauty
that burns your body to ashes and destroys whole nations
Red the sunset
a picturesque sight of the wonders of nature
and the beginning of a vast frightening blackness that holds you captive in its silence and shadow
Red the eyes
of the Devil who speaks encouraging words of temptation
and draws you down into the eternal flames of deepest and hottest Hell
