Red Life

Sweet, venomous valentine promises spoken from red lying lips, parted by a forked tongue, bringing red roses, red tulips, two lips pressed together in a fine red line, too much red wine in front of a roaring fireplace; red hot poker, Snap Dragon bud, a butterfly's sweet red smile, purity given to the scarlet letter; no crimson tide floats a red dawn, red letter day, bright red pulsing pain, strained (fear stained) red face, blood bathed cries of new life need a red baby buggy bumper, Raggedy Andy, clowns funny nose, and one red candle; red scabs on little knees from red flaring temper tantrums.

Red carpet dreams replaced by a red ball, ladybug colored car, toy fire trucks, red tipped matches, fire trucks have flashing red lights that seem to scream; is someone screaming? Fade in to blood shot eyes, seeing blood stained bandages that after time give birth to thick red scars, disfiguring a once perfect flower; flowers everywhere the eye can see under a red sunset, viewed by red rimmed springs of sorrow that regard a small wilted flower, with scarred red petals holding onto a new mother rose with painted red nails and ruby lips, holding a distant sad smile as the red cold ears of all hear the drumming of earth striking cherry wood.
