In Red...

In Red...

A Poem by Quill~
"

Unspoken words...

"

Reds
Strong and tall
you built impenetrable walls,
you invited me in
to sit with you for a while,
when truly a moment was all you had...

With a dysfunctional heart, I knew
I was facing the inevitable winds of change,
as we slipped through the cracks of time
I struggled to memorize your smile...

To remember every soft line, every whisper;
when you told me you loved me,
why did you blind my eyes?
blurring hues of red...

Your unspoken words,
I turn them over and over
inside my head,
as Autumn begs to move on...

A crave of the perfect love, lust, emotion, exchange and PG no less. Hidden hints and screaming ones are what makes this interesting.

A seductive image you've created here, love the tense, taste and nostalgia, if the color red could be explained this would be it...great job

:) thanks Nicky! Happy to see you here...
To break the heart of one so beautiful as in the image is a rash move indeed! You have described the painful scene of broken love so accurately and painfully and then Autumn a beautiful touch at the end.

:) thank you Darlin'!
A sadness pervades this love poem. Fleeting as it was, it seems it was a worthy one. There's a typo in the last line I think.

Last line... 'moves on' should be 'move on'

Lovely poem; you really paint an image. Song does nothing for it though; the poem is good on its own.

:) glad you see something in this... I wrote this for a heartbreaker.
thank you Daniel.
This scenario is well spoken here and the angst caused when our expectations are raised then dashed are well expressed in your narrative. Last line has an error in it.

:) many thank yous John!...(please let me know which error I've made so I can correct it)
I like the way you ended each stanza with a "..." like you're awaiting the inevitability of change while at the same time, wishing the moment would never end. nice write. aye plus plus.
