Ruby Radiance

scarlet flames

   psyche her imagination

drowning in bloodied waters

   of crimson thought

 

 she cannot forget

the same waters of doubt

    that claimed her faded

self-esteem in shades

    of claret wine tones

she remembers

     how it used to be

In rosy hues of ruby radiance

    in shades of confidence

a crown in her auburn hair

ah~ but destiny plays a cruel game

unlike her kind cherry~tipped hand

 

fate has been dealt as

tinted rich reds turned

tainted.to rusted dark dreams

Hello dear Fran, I loved this poem.
"she remembers
how it used to be
In rosy hues of ruby radiance
in shades of confidence
a crown in her auburn hair"
The memory of love. A never-ending memory. Thank you dear friend for sharing the amazing poetry.

Destiny play a big part in one's life. What used to be rosy is no more. The water of doubt can be harmful; and there is no turning back; destiny is cruel and your fate has "has been tainted" rich reds are now, brown hues. Well said Fran and how true this may be.
Best, B.

Red is the colour for confidence, passion and anger. A strong statement colour. It could also be linked to blood and death, but I prefer not to go there. I travelled to many places when reading these line Fran and was happy to do so. Have a good Easter.

I love red. It looks amazing on women with brown and black hair. It looks good with other colors too, but nothing sets off a dark haired woman like red. Well written piece, I enjoyed it.

I will never look at the color red the same way ever again. A very haunting poem which will no doubt paint my dreams in crimson.
