Red


















 I couldn't help myself when I saw all the photography

by Totomai Martinez .  His work inspires so much poetry.  

dVerse





Red is the color of my favorite rose
velvet scent under my nose
Red is the color of my lover's nightgown,
the color of her passionate prose

Her chest rises and falls against me;
blood in my veins pulses hurriedly 
I bring her blossoms with dew drops;
she lulls me with her poetry

I kiss her lips the shade of plum,
 thank her for waltzes yet to come,
dances under a full moon
to music from a flower drum

Red is the color of my true loves hair;
it glides around my throat bare
to the only woman in the world for me
I toast with Cabernet,
shower with garnets rare

    There definitely is something about red, isn't there? And Cabernet isn't bad! Smiles.

    I've been into red lately, must be 'cause there's freedom in aging and passion is purer. Love your red poem. Thanks for your compliment about my writing. I appreciate it.

    Red is my favorite color, so I, of course, enjoyed this!

    My favorite lines: " I kiss her lips the shade of plum,
    thank her for waltzes yet to come."

    Nothing quite matched up to red. There is something very delicate about this piece.

    A red rose how could one not fall for its allure. A passionate poem especially liked the 3rd stanza.

    sensual and tender at the same time...no "one night stand" here, but a poem of enduring love.
