When I haven’t any blue, I use red ~ Pablo Picasso

Original Poetry on Paper by the Author

The color red is Inc(red)ible
with a spectrum of emotions,
some passionate, few formidable

Red is the color when a new life is born
The color of Life

Red is the color when a loving finger touches the thorn
The color of pain

Everything appears red, even the shadow, when hit by cupid’s arrow ❤️
The color of Love

When the blood boils, red are the eyes, mad in anger
The color of rage

Red is worn in celebration in my culture, for the happiness to nurture
The color of joy

Red is the invisible color of a gallon of shed tears
The color of despair

With so much power, it is the sign of danger
Remember the red lipstick has a poignant power
