“And whenever I’m in a situation where I’m wearing the same as 600 other people and doing the same thing as 600 other people, looking back, I always found ways to make myself different, whether it be having a red lining inside of my jacket, having red shoes, it hasn’t changed.”
– Jeremy Irons
“When in doubt wear RED.”
– Bill Blass
Red’s Own Story
She is the thick
Slick enamel
That covers my nails
A pointer when tracing
Concentric circles
On bare flesh
She is the sports car
Darting along the highway
Hugging the curves
Turning an eye
She is the ripe
Succulent strawberry
Her flesh firm
Yet yielding
Tantalizing dipped in dark chocolate
Suits her best
She is the
American beauty
Long stemmed, heady fragrance
Her tight buds unfurl
Exposing her inner delicacy
We forget the thorns
She is the creamy dark war paint
On my lips
A signature
When and where
I choose to leave my mark
She is fire
On the move
Churning inside
Rising up
Beckoning me on
She is
Passion
Bisous,
Léa
poetry, photos and musings oh my! 
I love this Lea! the following really resonates with me :
“She is fire
On the move
Churning inside
Rising up
Beckoning me on
She is
Passion”
Bravo! 😀
Thank you Becka. I was just having a bit of fun with the colour red… 😉
As a redhead I always said I wore my passion on my head and in my heart. As an aging redhead, now it is only visible from my heart.
Ah, my half-sister had red hair. Many said that was the reason she had such a temper? She is ten years older than I and born in Canada but her hair hasn’t been red in a very long time… 😉
I loved this riff on red! (I am now wearing a big, goofy grin on my face, for which I thank you!)
Liz, I couldn’t have asked for a better response! You are so kind. Now you have me grinning. It was just a bit of fun and I’ve long associated the color red with defiance (my own I think). I wish I had seen this last night but never mind, I see it now and I can’t stop grinning. Thank you.
You’re most welcome, Lea! I got such a kick out out of it.
Thank you once again. I got a kick out of writing it but a bigger one to your response. That just made my day (and it was one of those days.)
🙂
Please understand, it was the birthday and I was going for defiant, or at least cheeky… 😉
