Red

Cardinal, Carmine,
Cherry and crimson,
Rose, ruby,
Scarlet and Vermeil.
Behind the freckles,
And the blushing,
There lies a soul,
Who reads what I feel.

Carroty, Chestnut,
Foxy and flaming,
Reddy, Sandish,
Titian and bay.
Behind the red hair,
And the secretive smile,
There lies a soul,
Who listens to what I say.

Bloodshot, Inflamed,
Ensanguined and bloodstained.
There lies the soul,
For whom my tears rain.
