Blue and Red

Such a lovely color this deep blue hue
Otherworldy lies too dark to be true
She counts sapphire stars under the moon
Disorderly dreams fallen down too soon

Moods shifting, red hot heat burning embers
Eyelashes lifted in cold glances still simmers
She bleeds an ice frosted shade that haunts
Nightmares that coil inward, sends red taunts

The fiery meteor has landed
Molten lava inside her has expanded
Consumed in fire she explodes in scorched rage
Aged, drained, turning back to the blue page

It starts to frost over again this time
Azure lake of emotion hides this her crime
Pray the red does not awake, this is true
Such a lovely color this deep blue hue

I'm partial to green myself, a deep soothing green is my pleasure, but blue and red are beautiful too, and blue can be very soothing as well! Red has an energy that blue seems to lack, but blue can be just as damaging truth be known! That's why I choose a lovely green, full of life within its own soul! I really enjoyed reading this amazing poem here this afternoon! What a dynamic piece, Great Work!!
