Scarlet Poems

Scarlet

Said the Mother Superior,
“I have completely lost track
of how often the Archbishop and I,
wearing ashes and cloth sacks,
crept into the crypt
and made the beast with two backs.
Altho' no one can hold a candle
to his Grace, yes, not even the Abbess,
flagellation notwithstanding,
as a nun married to God
who committed sacrilege,
I'm ashamed to confess,
I broke the 6th Commandment
as

Scarlet Red

Scarlet Red 
Sunset into vermilion 
Your a garnet auburn 
Eyes a blur radiant 
Marron surrounded 
Take me with you 
Beet red flowers lurid 
Can’t fathom in violet, your the one 
Tomorrow blood moon, uncertain 
A journey beyond brilliant wonders 
Graceful in your presents 
Scarlet divine claret wine 
Caught off guard,parallel absurdities 
You have my undivided

in dawn’s solitude
scarlet rays strip night away . . .

Marshmallow and Scarlet

her Scotland calf was a lovely color
I call him Marshmallow, she told us
Her parents had not named him
she thought this was a mean oversight

Her name was Scarlet and she was lovely
with her little white trainers, and her winsome ways
Her smile lit up the meadow, enticing the flowers to grin
She was a beauty with her bouncy

The Scarlet Cord in the Window

Scarlet reminds us of blood.
There was an evil like a flood.
Jesus was the last sacrificed life.
God, through Jesus, stopped the strife,
The power of evil cut like a cord, cut,
Broken away and the torrent of horror shut
Away from His beloved Creation;
All people everywhere with no beration.
The evil had gone so deep, sacrifices became daughters and sons!
They

Scarlet Paradise

In the storm of my mind,
You were my quiet yearning.
Nothing to hold onto, nothing to chase,
Nobody can adjust to this phase.

Do not claim the jargon words,
Words mean nothing when they are hollow.
Letters and pauses are only the reflections of my urge
To put you in my precious seat.

I see a scarlet paradise,
Beneath the fabrics, beneath the

Scarlet thread

Souls connected through time
Coupled together by love and blood
Arranged into families
Realizing where that thread originated and
Leads, tells us who we are. 
Engineered by the Creator
To bring about His will
Time to open our eyes
Hear with our ears the
Reality before us. 
Evidenced by the blood lines
Aligned back and back, leading us to
Deliverance!

Scarlet Dark, Bold Wine

Lonelier than lonely, the walls cry out to I.
I choke on sour taste as I attempt to reply.
Feelings bunch up to crouch inside my throat.
I want to let them loose, put them afloat.
Not upon mountain peaks or in valleys low 
would my heartbreak know a dauntless echo.

Sweet cascading, scarlet dark, bold wine,
please, relieve this crimson

The Scarlet Red

As heading down the streets of Paris,
I sensed the guitar strings resonating the air 
somewhere behind my ears.

Leaves fell twirling around as if, 
autumn started a bit early this year.
The foggy road didn't allow any lights to pass through it 
except for the one in the 'Scarlet Red' .

Was the nature romanticising around?
Or was it

The Scarlet Cleaver

The butcher
in a trance
this death
then many more
The cleaver
paused in motion
destruction 
to the fore

The blood
is pooling downward
in images
besmeared 
Its stain
a violent crimson
tattooing life
— with fear

Scarlet Ribbons

Scarlet Ribbons

Angry bullets curse and swear
Paint scarlet ribbons through your ice blonde hair
Scarlet ribbons burst the skies
Scarlet ribbons haunt my eyes

Then time stands still as I drift away
Drift away to that sun-kissed day
When we kissed goodbye, you began to cry
Then I did too, as I wallowed in your eyes of blue
Ran my fingers through your

Scarlet Symphony

Drip drip drip
There she is, curl up like a ball,
Hands pressing hard, raw is the pain,
For a moment the heated pad works.

Thud thud thud
Powerless she's against the shedding,
High and low, her hormones play tennis,
Giggles of laughter turn into tears.

Drip drip drip
With every drop of Vermillion, 
A raging pain rise in her low back,
The room is

Paul Scarlet Roses

Outside the dining room window
separated by a canopy 
of grape vines and a small patch
of grass, was a corrugated iron
fence weathered to a dull glaze 
of rust and covered by a trellis 
on which a thick profusion of roses
grew and sent their delicate perfume
into summer afternoons.

My Nan's Paul Scarlet roses
were her pride, a groaning weight
of

White As Snow

All is pristine.
White lights twinkle,reflected on freshly fallen snow.
The black velvet backdrop of night
Enhances the perception of silvery glitter.
Each tiny flash excitedly gossips to their neighbor.
All is pristine.
There is no trace of mankind.
No hint of corruption or decay to distract from the beauty.
No footprints, no tire tracks,
No clots of snow pushed into dirty stacks
At every
