RED is the colour of my true self

RED is the colour of my true self

When I look in the mirror, I see an old soul

I am bold, I am warm, my heart is never cold

My nature is the colour of fire and blood

I was made from ochre first colours of prehistoric art

I am a composition of polyphonic melodies

Complex is my form of infinite possibilities

I stir in others an intimidating affection

symptomatic of my desire, a colourful seduction

My scarlet passion is like a ruby laser

The wavelength akin to a spectrum in nature

a portraiture of courage I invoke

desired fluidity is found in my every brush stroke

Red is my soul, ardent and full of love

My dominant light diverges in shades thereof

scarlet, vermilion, crimson and a ruby hue

can be appealing and eye-catching to an interested few

My energy is the deepest reds never opaque

overflowing like a deep lustful red lake

I radiate a powerful passion a strong wealth

RED is the colour of my true self
