My BloodRed

I walk by unnoticed
an odorless fume thickly moistened
swept by crisp breeze
into endless horizons

Sun frosted was my deceptive soul face
concealing my blistered mind
beneath its’ gnarled husk
wisdoms eight sides

Blood tears cry my deliquescent vision
my soul flesh stained, my colour engraved
casting blood shadows
under moonlight black
engrafted in vermilion

My burning red heart
my blood red
I burn in my tinctured scarlet
razor shredded
my life pigment
my beautiful crimson
I am forever my beloved red

A stain it is not
its saturation deep
its fibers woven tightly
its truth permanent
of itself permeated
beyond blood
beyond bone
beyond death

I paint my mood of totality
just the shade of perfection
a texture of sweetened ripe
the shade of my absolute
my blood red
my lovely blood red
