Red

By MercyRain

red
red rose, red wine
redrum calling through the red skies
eyes -- red in passion
red in hate
red in violence of lust and slay
bestial red
animal red
red like the blood spilling from thighs
red like blood -- musky red sweet
the flush of red skin
burning red ache
red in the morn like a red storm brewing
red at night -- late -- basking in the red light whores
caped in red
red skirt, red lips
red fishnets ripped away in a red chevrolet
red eros, red mars
red rubies, red stone
red running in red bleeding
so the colours run red read red
