Love Poem: Loving You Was Red

Loving You Was Red

Loving you was red, 
all passionate lustful verse;
Burned into a gaze 
that’s so hot you turn away, 
‘Please don’t look at me like that.’

Soft and strong as steel
magnetic pull of roses, 
cherry bomb eyes shine;
Scent of desire in the air,
love tastes like heady perfume;

Burgundy bite marks 
with a smile only you see,
written in lipstick;
Hidden meaning just for you, 
crimson that innuendo.
