Red Stains On the Soul

Soul stains red







Red
rides high
on
temper
as denied
birth rights
to
females
stay rampant,
Blazing crimson
traverses 
through my
veins,
tender
emotions
bleed fast,
stain 
till soul's
depth.







Written July 3rd,2015

Upma, I like how you likened red to anger. Anger shows passion and red is a passionate color. Congrats on your placement and thank you for participating in my contest! Love, Kim
