you've been warned


that this blog may contain a bit of bad poetry, so here it is - read on only if you dare!

red, the sun on a hazy morning
red, the color of anger flowing through my veins
red, the hue of valentine's and lovers' quotes
hearts and roses and sexy dress
red, the opposite of black in a banker's notes

red, the traffic stops and its light alerts me the car needs gas
red, the blood reminding me that i'm just a woman after all
weak and vulnerable yet the sign that i'm a source of life
red, the apple skin, the sunburn, the sauce that stains the tablecloth

red lets everyone know i spent all night crying
gives away my secret cold, all that blowing colors my nose
