A Taste of Sweet Temptation
Red is the flavor of passion and desire
The taste of a kiss that sets your soul on fire
Red is the spice that tingles your tongue
Heat that warms you when the night is young
Red is the sweetness of a ripe strawberry
The juice that drips from your lips of cherry
Red is the richness of a glass of wine
The intoxication that makes you feel divine
Red is the fragrance of a rose in bloom
The scent filling your senses with perfume
Red is the sound of a heartbeat in your ear
The rhythm that syncs with your lover so dear
Red is the touch of velvety skin
A softness that makes you want to commit sin
Red is the sight of a lover's knowing smile
The beauty that makes you stay for a while
Red is the color of lust and temptation
An aroma that fills you with anticipation
So, lock the door and savor each bite
Red is for keeps, not just for the night
*I wrote this poem on January 25, 2024, as part of a ’30 days of poetry’ January challenge. This was day 25 and the prompt was: Taste the Rainbow: What does your favorite color taste like? This poem says it all about my favorite color and the feelings it evokes in me.
