Red


Intense, burning heat

Electricity pumping in

Your veins.  The aorta

Throbbing from pressure.

The feeling on your skin

As you brush the hand

Of a stranger. It’s the

Sinking feeling in

Your stomach.  It’s the

Bewilderment in a lover’s

Eyes. It’s everything around us.

Passion.

Love.

Lust.

Understanding.
