Color My World : Red

Passionate and angry,
The life force that drains away,
Cover me in its viscosity
And electrify my synapses---
Breathe spirit into my bones
As the ruby red brushes my skin
Fragile and delicate as rose.
Solidify me like bricks:
Rusty red and worn,
Whisk away with tastes of wine--
The flames of a violent wind.
Save me from myself,
And give me purpose.
