Red

Red

A Poem by Chris G. Vaillancourt

Red memories.
Drowning in blood.
Red desires.
Dripping in sarcasm.
Fresh mud,
deeply staining.
Our feet walking.
No clear direction.
Just drifting.
Searching for nothing.
Red dreams
soaked in distress.
I wonder
if you'll
remember our passion?
Red balloons.
Drunk on fresh air.
Dipping in horror.
Soft bellies.
Intensely aching,
forsaking all traces
of moving along.
Rolling vowels
earnestly deploying.
Red living.
I wonder
if you'll
ever forgive me?

The use of the color to reinforce the emotions behind this piece was brilliant, and it aided the imagry that was used. Very powerful, and insightful.

Very dark and rather violent...the red tells it all for me. This truly stands out in a positive way for me. I enjoyed this one a lot!

I believe the word I'm looking for is visceral. This is truly a striking piece and brings to mind so many associations that it transcends normal consciousness. It's positively amazing!
