Today’s prompt is:

Red….

Go.

The scent kisses my lips 

just likes yours kiss mine

in the nighttime air

I kick off my red heels

and you take red scent

and stick it in my hair

we dance around

so happy and free

Red dresses 

and white 

an isle

a man at the end

tears and fears

are shared

and a kiss

seals the deal

the wand sweeps

every so carefully

over the nail

and coats it

in a beautiful

burst of red

cries are heard

a mother runs 

to pick up her child

red is left on the pavement

as a testament

to the incident that

just took place

Red takes many many forms

but the red

that dripped out of his body

as he prayed

as he wept allowed

his body, broken

beaten and bruised

hung on a tree 

that red changed my life

and I hope that it changed yours too
