Red
Red is a dash of passion in a juvenile mind.
Red is significance that brings us together,
Red is a splash of colour caressing the blank
space in our lives.
Red is a symphony of flavours on your tongue as you pierce through the skin of a, freshly picked apple.
Red is the bloodline to your imagination.
Red is the bright, red sky enlightening different
cultures from across the world,
Red is the accomplishment of your greatest fetes.
Red is out the blue, unnatural to some but easy
to overcome,
Red is enjoyment on people’s faces as they treat
themselves with a guilty pleasure.
Red is love,
Red is extraordinary.
