Short Lovered Poems

.

My gift to him is simple
         Red Hot Cinnamon Sweet Hearts
                         Hot to match his red hot ways
                                                   Fiery hot man




(Fiery has three syllables here..)

The Alfa Romeo sport flaunting her red 
Physical chemistry of love, red-handed;
Whizzes past in frills to blow the mind
Eighteen plus a zero the speeding craze.

A Red riding hood into the city of bears
Busting forth from the red blood heart;
Teddies groan to love in crimson blush
Crush a heart here, one there to bleed:

No damn war fated so many to death; 
She does it here without a single shot....

The bright red convertible

 His midlife-crisis-mobile.

  Traded his faithful pick-up truck

 For newer wheels.

  Traded his faithful wife

  For not as new mistress.

 Changing his life , he said,

  Changing everyone elses too.

  Trying to recapture a youth

  He had only had in dreams.

  Bright red convertible.

  The midlife-crisis-mobile.

  He should be happy now

  But was he?...

The red roses are in the vase 
On the coffee table,
They were in your hand 
On the way home last night.

Their colour shines 
As if to show they're so proud.

Silent are the red roses, 
They don't want to disturb love.

Is red the colour of love? 
Ambitious and arrogant?
Then why do I have this fear of losing it?
My heart deeply asks 
What will happen to love
When they wither.

The red roses stand still!...

LOVE STORIES  (6 Haikus)

on one long    low   string
plumbing the depth of despair
violincello

like sharp pixie nails
teasing    hurting    sadistic
mascara    blue smoke

she says “I love you”
perfumed breath    mascara eyes
flask of red    red wine

both vulnerable
blue cigarette smoke curling
tears    empty bottle

gypsy violin
blue cigarette smoke curling
sans paroles

sorrow and despair?
no!    a D arpeggio
sun    flowers    health    life!...

RED is steamy, sexy
Filled with love, warmed hearts
Tied together, never apart.

Sweet RED lipstick, kissing
RED hearts floating in the air
Showing each other how much you care.

RED is mad, upset
Full of hurt and pain
Angry, with tears falling like the rain.

Hot, RED in the face
Full of hate,
Crushed, betrayed, very irate.

RED is hot, spicy
It can be sour, or sweet
It can be juicy, or very petite.

RED is tasty
It can be fed
Its warm, beautiful
Thats why I love RED!...
