She Spoke in Shades of Red

*Unofficial sequel to "She Spoke in Shades of Violet"*

She spoke to me in shades of red

Her words
So comforting
Like a bed of roses
For my heart to sleep in

She spoke to me in shades of red

Her voice
Captivating as
A cardinals song
Calling me to follow
Calling me
To never leave

She spoke to me in shades of red

Stimulating the senses
Her tones to my ears
Like a glass of fine wine
To my lips
Meant to be savored

She spoke to me in shades of red

Lipstick & Lust:
A thin red layer
The only thing
Standing between us

She spoke to me in infra-red

That twinkle in her eyes
Long ago went supernova
Resulting explosions or passion
Every time our lips meet

And forever more
This soul will sing
In shades of red

*And so ends the series as it has been brought to my attention this resembles a series by Six-Out. (By no means my intentions ). If you enjoyed this piece or the one preceding it I recommend you head over there and read his series which is exceptional*

Not like six, in truth...someone, some-when, probably wrote something like this or that, you can't get past that. What matters is that you gave it your own spin. Almost everyone writes about broken hearts, are we all just plagarising each other senseless? I'd like to think not. Well done sir.

keep in mind i am high as a kite (cold meds) and might not make a ton of sense. in my opinion this has no resemblance to six-out's poems (which i have read several times and love every one) except the line 'she spoke to me in..'. but your poem was original in both format and style. and while not a completely original idea it was done well and tasteful. as many below me have said colors are a general approach to poetry and used by many, i see no 'plagerism' in that. i hope you aren't discouraged. well done again. (i'll leave a better comment when i'm not sick) *cheers* ~ta~

writing in color is a very common poetic expression.

I really like how you introduced the infra-red. most people would never have thought of that. Great Write.
