Red

The color of suffered embarrasment

hiding in the basement

The tips of cupid's bows

Each petal of a rose

The feeling of love

The ribbon around a dove

The blood that drips

From finger tips

The color of fire

that will never tire

The heart that beats within

The wrong marked with pen

 

How can a color

mean so many things?

Some so different

A sweet rose

A roaring fire

It all depends on the person....

I love the ideas and images you used to portray the color red. This is a very visual and fun write.:)
