My Favorite Color is Red

My Favorite Color is Red

Red is passion. Fire. 
Strife.  It beats and bleeds,
seethes and breathes.

Red is rage. Sexual – carnal – 
unlike pink (soft and delicate, gentle and sweet).

Red are roses, sultry and rich. Red lips pout.
“Come, take me.”

Red is
Love, lust/
Fury/disgust-

Red is 
your resentment that could no longer be contained.

Red are the 
arteries ferociously pumping molten lava 
Away from my devastated heart. 

Red is
Provocative/Animalistic.
It is vengeance.  Red clamors. 
Welcome!
It is the silken banner of my homecoming
  
I AM BACK.

Red are the bricks of the road that walk me further away from you 

-My favorite color is red.
