SCARLET 



Scarlet runs through the veins,
Scarlet oozes out from the aching pains,
A scarlet is the velvety heart, 
You presented when we did part,
Scarlet pimpernel smiles,
As I look at it for a while,
The smile reminding me of you
And a rush of scarlet runs through,
Remembering the scarlet lace
Of my crumpled dress,
The sky painted in a scarlet hue,
Small little blues just peeping through, 
Pushing at each other,
To see us together, 
Embraced in love,
As my scarlet lips broke into a laugh,
That drop of scarlet that did ooze
From the scarlet bruise
Of my lips, still so fresh,
Scarlet passions still singeing my flesh,
Wish we could weave a mesh of scarlet dreams
Studded with scarlet  crystals,
Decorate our world with scarlet flowers,
Frolicking in a scarlet bower,
Today I remain without you, in this world,
With the scarlet heart as my only friend,
Scarlet still running through my veins
As it oozes out from the aching pains.
