Best Scarlet Poems

If I have the time, I’ll wait eons, to greet you in scarlet dawn
As you marvel its vermillion garb embossing marigold arc
Emanating golden sparks, piercing hazy contours of dark
While gilded ripples glisten pond, where floats a snazzy swan.

Listen I’ll, to the music of morn, in...

Her orchid blooms in petals across the vast expanse
bridging realms from here to there
spilling her wine and soaking the sphere of giving light
with impassioned shades of royal birth
as drowsy constellations daydream

she presents pious plumes of plum pastels
in a gesture of generous grandeur
for cosmic kings and...

Glow of autumn sun
    Now her scarlet chaperone
The leaves are jealous...

**** Would like to preface my return, and many apologies to fellow poets who may have missed my absence. Though I did not have much luck in love this past year, this poem was written years ago; I think it is a fine poem though...

"But when you showed me what happiness looked like, I shook harder, sobbed, wailed and bawled; tore at your clothes, your perfect, perfect face, and said, "This could never be mine."" - the poet.

It seems that it was just yesterday
when we lay on your bed,...

You grieve for Autumn, watching the leaves die,
and as emotional tears build, you cry.
For Fall becomes the harbinger of death,
watching the leaves die; you grieve for Autumn.

Autumn drapes the land in a scarlet shroud,
sensing Death is approaching; Summer cowed.
And acquiescing to Winter's command,
in a scarlet...

through silhouettes 
of scarlet hues
as the whispers
of day fade
to night

i curl myself
within your arms
blushed
with the fall

my kisses
tracing
the outline
of your soul

as i drift
in dreams
awaiting
an endless
dawn...

vermillion dry leaves 
fall in the crystalline pond 
in fulvous sundown

Fires ablaze within my eyes,
A smile concealing all my lies,
Screaming, begging, calling out,
A final, frantic, desperate, shout.

Scarlet tears drip from each vein,
A vehement covet to end this pain,
This silver blade, stays by my side,
Because all hope inside has died.

As each day ends, and darkness draws,
The...

no age 
or beauty
Love

no rich

Love knows 
no religion

Love knows

Amongst the oaks and the maples and shrubbery so green
Runs a translucent flow, a stream so pristine
It's meandering contours hugging the land
Takes me back to the day, we met unplanned

The sky was pale blue on this hot summers day
Cotton wool clouds in mesmerising display
It's as...

are we crazy or just contrived 
lazy or simply self-involved? 
are we insignificant, significant 
or just like everyone else 
deranged on the outside 
swimming through dead oceans in our heads 

am i death or am i over-simplified 
is my breath as thick as the painted...

As depression dominates your thoughts,
love morphs into the forbidden fruit.
And as your stomach twists into knots,
the weight of its absence grows acute.

You cringe inside, knowing life's unfair;
drowning in tears, you struggle to cope.
For suckling on the breasts of despair,
reality has drained you of hope.

When childhood...
