RED

The colour is RED (lyrics)

My soul is RED

my spirit, forever RED,

look at my clothes...

 RED

my aura....injured

eyes...RED

your knuckles...BLOOD RED

the butcher's laugh...

 RED

my shoes, RED

you slowly enter my room

quickly flicking the switch...

RED light...ON

you're familiar

with my room

you crawl on your knees

and shake my bed

I look outside

my bedroom window

the entire sky...

turned RED

I can see

your poison glowing

as it creeps

across my soul

welcome to 

the freak show

of golden abuse

I remain silent

in my fleshly tomb

I like this ^_^
Brings a certain band to mind, you might very well be able to gather which one xD
But yeah, the style is really unique and I love the imagery.
The flow is broken by the Red very abruptly and it really adds to it.
Great poem!

[Rob Santana]

Thanks for stopping by. Glad you enjoyed it.

[Echoes of Eros]

Red. The color and power of it fiercely screams through your short, pounding lines.

[Rob Santana]

Thank you bro appreciate the read and review.

[Fatima]

Lost of words, the simplicity is outstanding. Loved every second.

[Rob Santana]

Thank you very much Fatima.

[Fatima]

No problem, keep up the great work.

[Lyn Anderson]

I love this, Rob. I love too, the colour RED and all it connotes. The staccato nature and short stanzas go perfectly with the feel and colour. And since I know you like your corrections --butcher's((apostrophe) laugh and eyes (no apostrophe). :)

[Rob Santana]

Thank you KL. The colour RED can represent many different emotions. Once again thank you for your corrections. You know I depend on you for that.

[Amber Lily]

This is amazing! Honestly when I visited your page I was unsure of which I wanted to read because all the titles looked so good!
Red is an amazing color that can stand for a great number of things, it could be a thing of beauty, or a symbol of death. Great write! :)

[Rob Santana]

Thank you so much. I'm really glad you liked it. Yeah I write horror, gore, supernatural. Some dark and other stuffs...

[Amber Lily]

I've written a few dark things myself, otherwise my writing is just about things on my mind.

[Rob Santana]

Yeah I have a few of those, haha. I call them eccentric pieces. Sometimes my mind is on it's on trip, haha

[Steph]

This is fantastic! The use of imagery and snappy sentences makes the poem really enjoyable. Good job!

[Rob Santana]

The color red can mean so many different things...love, passion, anger, hate...
which leads me to your thought provoking and powerful words...dark and delicious...they drew me in and left me wondering why red is my favorite color....hmmm..
Brilliant writing Rob!

I love the switch from red to golden in the end.
It all sounds so terribly BAD but then that golden bit makes me think that maybe that's just how it's meant to be. Dark and dangerous.

[Rob Santana]

Dark and dangerous is exactly right. Thanks Ana.
