Red

when soul is dipped in beauty,  
it blazes with a vibrant hue  
as resplendent as gypsies  
and as beautiful as a minstrel's muse...  
It is the colour within you-  
passionate and fiery;  
it emits a dynamic energy  
that grants you tenacity.  
a ruler of mars,  
a fighter's obsession  
ignites sparks  
of perseverance.  
it pigments the blood  
that flows through your veins  
yes, it's the colour red  
crowning glory of rainbow-  
a colour with many facets  
and diverse shades to behold.  
it flushes the sun at dawn and dusk;  
it's in the wild rose  
to woo your crush.  
it imbues the heat  
you feel,  
and the warmth and compassion  
that heals.  
when you feel the beauty  
of love  
bubbling in your heart,  
or the sensual rush through your bod  
when you hear your primal calls,  
it's the colour red  
that captivates your being's  
each and every part.  
it paints your cheeks red  
when you blush,  
or stains your lovely eyes  
when you cry,  
it embellishes your lips  
to lure for a kiss.  
it's a witch's spell  
when you wear it well;  
seduces your admirer  
when it inks the attire.  
but, red has a darker side,  
in anger it resides.  
it signals danger  
when fear confiscates    
like a creepy stranger  
 
but...  
   
whether you like or dread,  
Red,  
is the most sacred hue  
cos its the symbol  
of love  
which is a gift from The Above
