The Number Nine Is of the Color Red
The number nine,
when said, is a bright red!
As pleasant to see as a red rose,
hat opens for the morn'.
Whose petals I see may softly hold a raindrop,
that will slide silently off the rose
to leave the damp red velvet to dry..
amongst the sunlit Summer garden.
The number nine -such a ruby gleam-
is of the nineties..the carpet rolled out,
~for a life ahead~
~a lifetime past~
A captive blood tincture, a clot..
burst to bleed through the body,
to color inspiration,
that is steeped in a thick maroon glove,
of the month of June
that is the beginning of Summer..
that is a darker hue of the number nine.
To me, MUSIC: Red violins on a Sea's edge...
