Red Ink

Red Ink

She writes her thought in red ink.
She tell you in pretty words what she thinks.
She wraps her darkness in it’s shades,
making the bright colors fade
into brown on the tarnished page.
She pours out parts of her soul.
Rivers of anguish how they flow,
from a mind life has ruthlessly shattered.
Across the page her dreams are scattered.

Today she uses bright red ink
to record thoughts that slowly sink
into chaos teetering on the brink
of utter confusion becoming lost.
With red ink she tallies the cost
of living life in default.
Paying the price for lesson taught.
Words of remorse adding up the dues,
summing up the cost of love’s deluge.
Washed away dreams in the blink of an eyes,
in red ink the reasons to die.

Red ink that slowly turns to brown.
Her face wearing a careless frown.
Red ink streams like a flood.
Slits in her wrist, words written in blood.

This one still hurts to read...takes me there...kinda like throwing me in a crowd of mockers naked. beautiful...so sad...so wounded. I love you:)

Your titles are intreguing, and the poem itself a river of twists and turns like cursive on a page of yellowed parchment. Truth eminates from this poem.

This was written for you Dandy before we ever met in person, the way you write in your journals in red ink pouring out your agony as if it were blood. You are a dynamic dark writer who captures her dark emotions perfectly.
Thanks Okami for taking the time to read me and for the great insight, my titles are the device I use to set the tone of my poems. You are also an excellent writer whose words speak honestly and emotionally touching the reader. That's why I read any poet and you are one of my favorites here, my dear. iblieve
