RED
I see the red
ooze out of veins
like water
flushes out of drains.
The sight makes me
oh-so-dizzy
leaves me nauseous
in a tizzy.
I see the red
on beautiful brides
Their crimson glow
eyes filled with pride.
Something stirs
within my heart
Hope, awe?
Love's innocent dart?
I guess it's not
about the red
that makes me purple
filled with dread.
Nor about
the regal red
that makes one fall
in love instead.
Red flags, red wine
Red light, red rose
Red's mostly great
but sometimes gross
For red is just a colour
no more
Red is what you feel
for sure.
