Bright Red

 

sweet melancholic moods
drift downward
like autumn’s leaves:
brown
frail
and dead

tears slide
deep into heart’s chambers
once alive
risking rustic red

vibrant red lips
absent love’s expression, quiver
slipping naked
neutral
and lifeless
toward winter

underutilized mind
whips silence crazy
like autumn’s chill
stirs the bleeding leaves

yet
reminders of your love
breathe life into poetry
your heart speaks
the bright red truth
and, I
alive, now, and dancing
want to live
within your eyes forever

"Bright Red" reminds us of human nature's: "Hope springs eternal."

"and, I, alive, now, and dancing, want to live within your eyes forever."

Love defies the notion of unobtainable immortality!

I love the way your poem starts with "melancholic moods" and progresses toward a happier mood. Nicely done, and looks great in that frame.

I like the format of this poem Tami. The wallpaper is very pretty. To live in his eyes forever is so romantic Tami. Thank you for sharing.

Merry Christmas Tami, to you and your family and loved ones, and a very Happy New Year too.

May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie

Precious friend,
Red is the colour of passion and you're certainly not lacking that but in this write I am reminded of a movie that was shot in black and white except for a young girl in a scarlet coat. The contrast of this little girl's coat was what made the bleak horror of the movie that much more effective. In this I feel like I'm seeing your life blood in print. You have an incredible heart, so filled with love and I pray that all you desire comes to you in abundance.
Love Chanti
