2 Color World
Crimson circlets and beads
lives and mangled dreams
dangling droplets and leaves
cold rain and fetal sleep
Dreamer derailed, senses impaled
steel rips a hazy world into place
drops the curtain on another night
drifting along the sunset tide
On rainy days when all is gray
starkly against it a red rose bleeds
the color of life, the color of love
forever together in a painless embrace
