RED
(Author suggestion-play “You Are Not Alone” by Michael Jackson while reading this.)
Some red hues are soft
velvety and deep
the way you make me feel,
did we really want to sleep?
I’ve got it bad.
I need you so much,
I breathe your breath,
You touch my skin.
a firestorm of red
across my lovely sky
desire and mental heat
that you and I will make
such precious love and
you and I sharing the light
as my heart fills with joy.
Have I the right to ask you
will we be one tonight ?
Don’t you think we should ?
Can we solve loves mystery,
we have something special,
this is what dreams are about?
It started as a tiny ember.
I felt it from the start.
The sweet red of our passion
underscores what we feel.
When I met you,
you stole my breath and
I offered you my heart but,
we traded hearts instead.
My soul’s not mine any more.
If you ever were to leave me,
if you ever stopped loving me,
I would cry so much, so much
more than you could ever know.
I can never stop loving you,
that can never go away,
and the red showing in my eyes
will be always there to stay.
