RED: The Contradiction

RED: The Contradiction

Red signals love, red demonstrates hate
Two meanings, one color, one voice
Passions are stirred, fury burns under weight
All decided by the spectrum’s lone choice

The beating heart is a crimson hue
Fitting by its depth of emotion
A powerful force unlimited to
Love’s one source of the truest devotion

A victim’s rage, a lover’s desire
Red is at the center of it all
A burning lust, ever fanning the fire
The answer to, the waiting siren’s call

It strikes one with, merciless power
It shines in the blood of the weak
It explodes each morn, in that finest hour
And sets each night with the sun in defeat

Red you see, is a contradiction
Not easily, nor hardly defined
Endless in scope, with no true depiction
Unbridled, uncouth, and so unrefined
